I'm confused on what people hate so much about the new launcher...is it the console that appears? I find that to be very useful for troubleshooting things or writing scripts with chat.
I don't see how the new launcher is that different from the old one, other than not closing automatically. If you do the exact same thing in the new launcher that you did in the old one, it works the same way. It only gives you the option to customize.
Look: The new launcher is a bit annoying, and buggy, I know.
But you have to understand the fundementals, it may look ugly, and weirdly configured, but it will all be updated soon.
Patience.
Seriously kid. Now I KNOW you are just making stupid crap up to continue this flame war. The only possible way that the launcher, sitting their on your screen, doing absoulutely nothing but displaying a visual graphic of feed coming directly from the minecraft itself, is lagging you out.
You really shouldn't spout off saying someone is making up stupid crap when you don't know the facts.. The fact is, according to some developers like the maker of optifine, it appears that the new launcher is launching minecraft in a different fashion than the old launcher and that it appears it's causing issues with some GPU drivers, in particular, intel ones which a lot of laptops use. Combine that with the fact that minecraft is now using a new versions of the lwjgl library and that library has some bugs related to certain versions of OSX (10.5.x I think it is), it's no wonder that a lot of people are having lag problems. Some Mac people have solved some of their issues by upgrading their version of OSX.. There is no solution yet for those with Intel GPUs.

If it is, this is the mac you have:
It's also nice that you are selling your dirtbike for a nice laptop, but next time, please refrain from purchasing any computer-based subscriptions, such as the curse premium you have there (curse is pretty awesome, do indeed support them!) before you go around and complain that you don't have enough money to buy a new computer.
*Inside joke here*
I'm not making crap up, but your just trying to come up with new to throw at me constantly. Go fanboy somewhere else, I claim this thread in the name of Allah. Let me suicide bomb it now.
C'mon dude! The new launcher is sick! You do realize that now it is so easy to switch between mods and versions, right? I'm going to have so much fun with it!
ITS NEW AND CONFUSING
I HATE CONFUSING THINGS
