Chutes have been a thorn for me. I only like to play in Career and with low tech re-entry is extremely difficult. I finally got it down to where I can open my chute at 2000m at less than 250m/s so I don't rip off the chute. I fear for new players just getting into the game on career getting frustrated with low tech and not having Drogues.

Just to add a bit here. I'm a pretty new KSP player I have only been playing since 0.90 or so I think. But I have been playing another notoriously difficult to learn game since 2006 called EVE Online. EVE has constantly battled with players complaining when the devs fixed something so it worked easier and was more accessible. People complained that it was making the game too easy. Over the years we have learned that more accessible of a game through better mechanics doesn't mean the game is necessarily easier. Punishing your players isn't the same as a good challenge. Also, since 1.03 I have lost many a Kerbal to re-entry since my capsule do not slow down enough now. I come in nice and flat and the air just DOESN'T slow me down enough! I BARELY get slow enough to deploy my chutes above the water at like 2000m and under 250 m/s or my chutes rip off. One thing I have learned in KSP is when they keep changing how the atmosphere works it DRASTICALLY changes gameplay. Whatever the devs decide i hope they just make a decision and stick with it.
