Summary

Change aversion is a complex issue where users react negatively to changes in products, whether functional or interface-related. However, change can be necessary to solve problems and improve user experience. The key is to approach change carefully, test with multiple iterations, gather feedback from customers, and analyze the results to make informed decisions. Understanding where users are coming from, reminding oneself of the problem being solved, and making decisions based on a balanced input from stakeholders are crucial. Additionally, color choices can be particularly challenging, as they may not always elicit the desired reaction from users. A successful redesign requires patience, careful planning, and a willingness to adapt to customer feedback.
