Indeed, and that is why testing new developments in courses is so important because there you get naïve users. Obviously, this has been very difficult this year. It is also exactly the reason why you do need to have developers at courses, not just power users.
For those struggling to get used to Coot 0.9 there are few tips: 1) Drag atoms where you want them to go, not beyond where you want them. I.e. don't "overdrag" like you used to do in Coot. 2) Try to get close to the right answer first by rigid body movement. This is particularly useful for ligands. 3) Practice*. The C-termini in PDB entry 1ggx are nice to practice resisting to overdrag.
