Fwiw, I like the changes.
Having "links instead of text box" is an additional improvement, above and beyond the "id instead of title" tweak.

Kudos to kudra and to vroom.

Update: there *may* be a bug in Personal Nodes change.   Now my Change User Settings won't remove any Personal Node entries.   Check "remove" boxes and click "submit".   Page refreshes, yet same boxes are still checked and entries still exist.

Update 2: I experienced the same thing, Nuance, while my Personal Nodelet entries were still mixed between "named" and "links".   I deleted all "named" and recreated as "links", to find myself unable to delete any.
