Comment (by sadrul):

 To add to what has already been said, the use cases you mention for the
 old behaviour (send a file, send an offline message to a yahoo account)
 are relatively rare, at least for a huge majority of the users, and so
 they do not justify reverting the new behaviour.

 You will note that all the mentioned behaviour are still doable, and quite
 simply too. Instead of 'right-click|send file', you would now do 'right-
 click|select account|send file', or switch the account the message is sent
 to from the 'conversation|send to' menu. The steps are simple enough to
 keep the current behaviour. And as someone who didn't like the new
 behaviour at first, I can tell you that you will get used to it rather
 quickly, if you give it a chance.


 > ... I need to be able to tell what network someone is on at a glance.

 Apart from the above mentioned reasons, what other reason do you have?
