I wasn't saying I dislike the new stuff, but I do think the style has changed considerably. Kabuto changed the look to modern digital, Den-O lined up the now ridiculous form changes as standard, W brought in the collectibles, and now the writing is the only thing that varies.
While they might have become standard with Den-O, a lot of people at the time felt they were a call back to Kuuga and Agito. Up to that point the norm had been a Rider with a final form and maybe an intermediate form. It only stuck with Den-O because of how well the toys sold in comparison to the lackluster sales from the Blade~Kabuto era.
