I think you're being a bit too emotional about this but anyway that's good to hear. Maybe it's just wishful thinking that the internal UI gets as much love sometime in the future.

Right, and the way you've presented it sounds like a big deal - 5 steps vs. 2 - but notice the internal UI steps boil down to only a few keypresses extra (scroll lock and tab) and the web interface steps omit finding the phone if it isn't nearby, picking up the phone, finding the web browser, entering the URL, etc. I personally think the former is easier, but not everyone's usage pattern is the same, so perhaps others are different. Think about how divided the Office ribbon interface topic is/was, and... yeah. Who was right? Who was wrong? Impossible to say.
Again, please don't misconstrue - as I said, your work seems pretty neat to me with a refreshingly modern look. I'm sure in the future we'll see benefits that may outweigh any usage, security etc. drawbacks. Either way though, you surmised in your own blog that people will have other opinions, so I think you've allowed some room for that, no? 
ETA: also just want you to know that I do strongly believe you should continue what you're doing. It's awesome and rare to see such fresh air being piped into the project by someone who cares enough to devote time and effort and give back. It's far more than the majority of us who have mostly just taken. So, thank you!
