No offense taken.
I recognize the fear problem, that's why I keep working on the kitchen. What you should find moving forward is that the kitchen interface becomes more and more friendly, even for people that are totally new to the process. Your desire and my statement aren't that far apart...you'll still have the ability to generate a pre-made ROM for your phone with but a few clicks (no matter what your carrier is) and you'll also have the option to bake your personalization settings in the ROM (IMHO, that's worth using the kitchen all by itself...I HATED typing that stuff in everytime I loaded a ROM).
The main factors inhibiting my vision from being a reality today are installation issues, complexity of the openning kitchen screen, and the natural reluctance of people to adopt change. The first 2 issues are being resolved, and the last just takes time.
BTW, your analogy isn't quite right...it's not like win98 to winXP, it's more like floppy to CD-ROM. The kitchen doesn't make it better or even different, it just makes more options available if you want to take advantage of them - and keeps everything in a more distributable form. But, to answer your question more directly...yes, while you shouldn't have to change, sometimes it's easier if you do - even if it is scary..
