Change is not always for the better.
tab completion on dhclient
In Debian 8 (Devuan Jessie), you can type # dhclient eth, then hit tab to get the completion for eth1,eth2,eth3, etc... This no longer works in Debian 9 (Devuan Ascii). It's necessary to write out the full eth#.
Udev requires reboots after Ubuntu 14
When I started using Linux distributions one of the things I noticed was how well updates were handled, compared to proprietary software. No forced reboots, no update screens that leave the user waiting. You can use your computer while it's updating. This changed with udev requiring a reboot in Debian 8 or 9 occasionally.
