What an informative message! All I gather from it is that you are complacent about ergonomics. If so, why post at all?
Personally, I think several of the ergonomic changes since the K20D have been a step backwards. That body had the better button placement, SD card slot, etc. That said, I prefer the K-7/K-5 size and the grip has been nicely modified to fit the hand. (Nothing wrong with the K10D/K20D design but this grip suits the smaller bodies better.)
Also it cannot be denied that removing DOF scale, aperture ring etc. makes the newer Pentax lenses just as generic as their Canikon equivalents. Direct control and feedback are two pivotal concept of HCI. (Ironically, lenses with aperture rings are more important than ever, as they are functional when coupled to micro-four-thirds cameras and the like.)
Furthermore, if you were to actually read the article you would see that Pentax lacks in other features that the author (and myself) would like to see... like a dedicated ISO wheel for example.
Lots of room for improvement still!
