The much maligned flashlight icon was totally my fault. I changed the old button with a label to a straight icon when I moved the tabs from the lower toolbar to the top toolbar. As far as I can tell, nobody has complained about the tab location being moved. But it's pretty clear that nobody loved the flashlight!
The icon was changed to the flat "box" design at the last minute as part of a larger icon re-design effort, and that happened when it did just because a volunteer showed up at that time to do it.
