But are you angry for a good reason? I'd say "no", because this just isn't as big of a deal as you are trying to make it. If the behavior stays as it is, you merely need to hold down the option key when you want to make a new window instead of changing an old one. This habit should take about a day to learn, if that. They haven't changed or removed some vital aspect of your workflow and left you with no reasonable way to do something equivalent.

The thing that really amazed me is that when I poked through the forums to find the (non-existent) trick to allow normal functionality back, I ran across a post from Ken Case saying that the open window in a new perspective option would be added back in the release version of v1.7. That post is from over a month ago. Four OF releases have happened since that post.
This obviously isn't something that interests the folks at OmniGroup.
It's a known issue that they've said they were going to fix more than a month ago. It's something that would take one or two man-hours of work to fix. But yet they're not fixing it.
I think anger is a more appropriate response than calming down.

I went and looked at what the forum software said were all of Ken's posts since early July (well before 1.7 sneaky peeks came out). There was a
post by xmas stating that they would likely put such a feature in, but I saw nothing from Ken promising one. And even if he did promise something "in 1.7" that I overlooked, remember that the initial 1.7 release had a hasty delivery due to Snow Leopard's surprise early arrival, and there is all sorts of functionality promised for "1.7" that has yet to be delivered in a release whose identifier starts with "1.7". That doesn't mean it isn't going to happen, just that it hasn't happened yet. Yes, there have been a bunch of subsequent releases, all targeted at bug-fixing for the most part. Customers unable to sync might have some cause for being angry; customers who have to learn to hold down the option key for some operations, not so much.
I've had great success with sending in feedback of the calm, rational sort, and exhibiting a bit of patience. Temper tantrums aren't likely to work. Temper tantrums on the forum are even less likely to get your desired change.
