Why do I hate the new Photoshop CC?

Getting really frustrated. Yes, I know it's me.  I have to adapt, but there are seemingly so many changes that I have to admit I'm having issues trying to figure out the new features, masking, and other tools.  I can't find a suitable synopsis of all of the changes and why.  Can anyone help please?

    Hi all, this may help. 

    You control when you update Photoshop using the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

    Go in to preferences and turn off automatically update applications.

    That way you can review what is new in the latest releases and see if there are any issues that would affect you prior to updating the software.

    You can also go back 1 version using the desktop app if you find the new version difficult to use.

    From which exact version have you upgraded to which exact »new« version? 

    Which features/operations/… seem to behave differently than previsously?

    Ged, Yes.. I'm just trying to figure out not just how to use them, but why these changes? What exactly am I losing vs. what am I gaining from it.
