1. Please hire some developers that know something about streamlining their code. Minecraft has become a "sloth". It creeps along as it has to parse through bits and bits of unneeded code.
2. 1.6.x was not ready for release (not by a long shot). You've convinced so many kids to upgrade, only for them to find out that now they are stuck with it, and there's no turning back.
a. They have now lost the ability to use a "cracked" server. This means they can't log in with a "non-mojang" userid because the new launcher forces them into an endless "forgot password" loop.
b. Where to we go to find 1.5.2.jar?
3. You would think the goal would be to find a way to minimize the computer resources needed to play Minecraft...... but noooooo, you guys just keep loading it up so a poor kid can't play. I mean, I have a laptop running win7 32bit, 2gb ram 2.4ghz cpu, and still lag in single player mode with all the options set to their minimums. CLEAN UP YOUR CODE!!!!!!
Where can I get the old launcher and a copy of 1.5.2??????? I hate 1.6.2, and will never use it.... I guess I'm going to be stuck in the past with 1.5.2 for the rest of my life because Mojang doesn't know how to progress from one build to the next.
Going from 1.4 to 1.5 is pretty major, but going from 1.5 to 1.6, was much more than major, it also includes a launcher change. A huge launcher change.
There should have been more talk about this, and there should have been an option to stay with the old launcher.
To force customers to do stuff they don't want to do, is like the United States Government forcing us to let them record our phone calls and read our email.

Firstly, I want to say that your mentality is one that is completely opposed to any kind of change. You are just like those who see a new facebook layout, like timeline, and freak out because it's different from what you're used to. You say you hate it, and you'll never use it ever, but in a month or two, you don't care and use it because it is perfectly functional and actually better than the old one.
Also, have you even researched the features of the new launcher? The appearance is a work in progress, yes, but it is more streamlined, more secure, more advanced, and above all, more moddable than the old one. Watch this video to find out:
Also, ironically, it would be incredibly easier to get 1.5.2 with the new launcher than with the old.
Secondly, I simply cannot understand how 1.6 can possibly have been a bad update, and how it could have killed the game for people. For god's sake it's minecraft, but with some horses, new potion effects, and some new mob behavior. Plus, it adds resource packs, the single most useful tool for a prospective mapmaker. Have you not seen Geoffrey's chamber?
I think you should think of minecraft more as a game, because that's what it is. Just have fun!

Before blaming Mojang, who is constantly streamlining their code and trying to make their game run easier on every platform, had you considered the problem might lie with your computer?
First you'll want to do a complete scan of your computer with any antivirus program of your choice. If you don't already have one, Avast! Antivirus is really good, and above all, free.
You'll also want to go and uninstall any applications that seem useless to you, or that you just don't use anymore.
Next, use CCleaner, it's a free application that deletes old libraries and unnecessary files. Make sure that when you run the cleaner you check the little box saying "wipe free space" at the bottom before clicking "run cleaner". This will take some time.
Still with CCleaner, go into the registry tab and, with all the boxes checked, click scan for issues, then when it's done, fix selected issues. These are files that store program configuration information and whatnot.
After this, you want to defrag your hard drive. This will take all of the fragmented information on your hard drive and consolidate it for easier and faster access. Windows come with a utility for this, so just search "defrag" in your computer and run it. This will also take quite some time.
