I fully support their decision to go DVD only. We're getting to the point where CD versions of games are 4-6 discs and it's just a pain to keep track of that. DVD-ROM drives are available for $30-$40 so its not a big deal to pick one up if you don't have one.
As for the other stuff I didn't really follow how long the dev took, and I have a beast of a system for other games so I haven't had a single hardware related problem in the game. I'm a Tribes player so patches don't faze me at all. Tribes 2 out of the box had so many terrible bugs that anything else seems minor to me now :P
