I usually resent things that appear to game the system and are jammed into the process at the last minute. In this case, the entire presidential campaign would take place predominantly before knowing how electoral votes are counted. Put that together with the other gimmicks (rules change for primary delegates, earlier primary, etc.), and I tend to reject it. Just one more reason to not like this thing, IMO.

I agree. I will admit that I wouldn’t like it even if it were to have been pushed through a couple of years before the general election though.
