You should never, and I mean NEVER speak for everyone's opinion like that. I personally hate translucent guis and particle effects in 2D games.
DX7 is why I still use Mirage. I won't personally need to use MS4 again as I have a much better base MS4 to work with for each project, but it's still not a good idea to make MS4 use DX8 by default. The best bet, would be to include BOTH versions and allow people to use the one they want. That way, there doesn't need to be more than one version of MS4 to update each time.
