At the time, Leaflet was considered to be the better overall framework, 
with nicer looks and better usability on mobile devices, and much 
smaller load times on slow connections due to its compact size.

It was a relatively quick and painless move if I remember correctly, and 
nobody complained at the time.

The fact that the double-click-to-centre-map functionality went away at 
that time went unnoticed (I am surprised because I occasionally used it 
as well).

It certainly wasn't a clear decision to "remove a feature" - it was just 
that Leaflet seemed better.

Nobody's saying that Leaflet must stay forever; I have heard that with 
recent improvements to OpenLayers, some people even switched back to 
OpenLayers after using Leaflet for a while. That's an option we 
certainly have available; or we can improve Leaflet to add what we feel 
is missing.

But nobody has "removed a feature" on purpose.

Bye
Frederik
