I don't think shutting up and smiling at his every decision and letting the game stagnate without any protest is helping or improving on the game. Hell, griping is the ONLY way to help improve on the game short of modding and making texture packs. I'm not talking about blatant groundless hating, but genuine constructive criticism (which no matter what you do is going to sound negative since it's not praise) is a good thing.
Minecraft is an amazing game and Notch set a pace early on by himself with updates and he has visibly slowed down and unbelievably the updates have slowed more and more even though hes employed an office full of talented people. Just because we've gotten our moneys worth out of the game doesn't mean the games development should just screech to a halt.
We just want to see the game get better, just because it's incredibly popular now doesn't mean it always will be, the better the game keeps momentum the longer it will thrive, lending Notch the funds and prestige to expand and start more projects that will keep that momentum rolling.
This is just my 2 cents.
