Good riddance. For me, it just got in the way doing the one thing I actually cared about: easily getting photos from phone to desktop, mostly for work (whiteboard, sketches etc).

• No upload of 'recent first' meant you couldn't use it in real time if you weren't super careful to always open it
• paternalistic approach to battery management meant you couldn't force it to upload if battery was low
• paternalistic approach to telco meant you couldn't force it to upload if not on wifi.

Not sure my use case was typical, but it was the only one I had :)
