I personally dont like the change since I got used to the way it worked before. I mean, we've had Android running on our phones for MONTHS this way and all the sudden the HOME Function disappered. I know Spare Parts allows you to make the End Button as Home Button, but it really doesnt. The real Home Function is now GONE. You cant pull up your App History, which is VERY useful. Not only that but when using LauncherPro, you cant use the "Home" button any more to either return you to the main page or pull up the Page Preview function like on Sense. I kindda think it was a bad move that should have been introduced only when the Home Button got properly changed too.

What do you guys think?
I actually like it because now it's more how WinMo operates - which makes sense to me - power button = power button

The problem in reality is we don't have the right buttons for Android, so unfortunately there's no right answer. If you want to go back to the way it was, you can grab a kernel before the change was made.
