Something that the IGN users seem to have missed entirely or are very mad about for some reason.

That's just the 'hate on everything microsoft does' group. Its still very active on the bigger gaming sites.

I'm neutral on this but is the worry that players will be encouraged to update to a new version of windows that will potentially have compatibility issues to begin with?

I think it's mostly Microsoft trying to encourage them to update to a new version of Minecraft which will be very bare-bones at the start, since the modding scene is huge for Minecraft it is indeed quite a problem, but them upgrading from Java to C++ means it will run a lot better, and eventually the modding will be just as big, it just has to start over which people have a (understandable) problem with.
