I really like a lot of what they did with the game. When it was just Mojang doing everything, it felt like the game left a lot to be desired. Things would be broken for a long time, there would be half features, and it just kinda ran bad, too. It's great to see that the boats aren't these pieces of cardboard that you can't steer and break on everything. It's great that the Nether portals are almost instant. Also, it seems like it was running at a pretty good frame rate on a tablet, even with the fancy graphics turned on. If this is really as it seems, this is going to be great for Minecraft.
However, I'm really scared about the fact that they're going the route of pocket edition. I personally really didn't care much for the pocket edition, especially the UI. Hopefully, they don't change everything too much, or it's just going to a pain to get used to. Also, hopefully they still support mod developers. I'm afraid that they'll try to lock everything down and try to keep people from making mods, but since they're the large reason why that Minecraft is still popular, I highly doubt it. Nevertheless, companies don't always make the right decision. Let's trust that Microsoft does this time around.
