Care to elaborate on this point further?  I do not get it.

Do you mean to say "I hate it because it does things differently from how
I did it originally", or "Because it does things differently from how the
original did, it breaks this and that cases"?

If the latter, "this and that" part is especially useful.  A solution to
fix that may end up to be closer to the original implementation.
