This mod uses inline error messages, IMHO, i do not think this was change for change sake, with so many forms using CSS tool-tips and jQuery to display inline error messages, I think it was to give the form a more up-to-date presence.

If one chooses to convert to message-stack by all means, try my MessageStack LightAlert Light Box.

I have to agree with @DivaVocals, the inline error messages do provide better usability hence all the new CSS tool-tips and jQuery form builders.

A Return form DOES help sales and confidence with a customer IMHO.
I agree.. inline messages are used more often in applications these days because they ensure that end users have fewer issues understanding EXACTLY what is required when a form fails validation on submit. It's not change for change sake at all.. it is IMPROVED usability, and I don't understand how that is a BAD thing..
