EVERYONE READ THE ARTICLE! There are some HUGE changes!

[Aladormax]

Yep that was huge. Initiating fallout in 3...2...1...go.

Certainly interesting.  Loving this as an EDH player, since it just means more cool toys.

That pretty much confirms that I will no longer be playing standard. Too much stuff to try to get in a shorter amount of time. Personally, I cannot justify spending money on a cards that will rotate shortly after. And no more Core Sets... So no more beginner level products? Hmmm... Guess I'll just stick to Modern

Sets rotate at 18 months at the longest, and even the shortest sets only rotate after 15 months. Basically every set is a third set or a core set. I think it will make Magic more interesting.

It will certainly shake up Standard. Removing core sets is a big step. I won't play Standard again, but from a collector standpoint and EDH player, I'm excited about new cards, acceleratored story telling and more keywords

[DirtyMustachio]

I only see this making standard better overall. No more overly forced mechanics drug over a third set, focus on making quality cards over 2 sets

[LinkCelestrial]

Standard is going to be a disaster area. I'm kinda looking forward to it. I think it will do what they want and keep decks changing as people constantly dig for new designs in the rotating cards.

I'm not too happy about spending more money I don't have on cards. (Who am I kidding? I love buying cards.)

I think EDH is gonna love this. So many cards so fast. Prices are most likely to go up and down quickly on any decent card as it gets played then rotates out.

My biggest concern is no core sets. Core sets have held my favourite collection of rares and always have (for me at least) commons/uncommons worth playing. I built my first ever standard deck around {Ensoul Artifact}, and everybody knows about {Gray Merchant of Ashodel}. Core sets also usually have a large amount of Planeswalkers. Who doesn't love Planeswalkers? I'm sad to see them go.

Anybody else pick up on the "line of products just for them [beginners]" what's that all about? Magic Origins perhaps? I'm expecting some variation of intro/duel decks.

Fresh from Blogatog: "We are going to be more aggressive about reprinting cards in expert sets" Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It will make things more interesting for sure, especially those people with the funds to constantly make a good to competitive deck. I really can't do that currently in the two year rotation, so shortening rotation time makes it worse. So that's why it is bye-bye standard. Which is one reason I like Modern; once you purchase your cards, they won't rotate and they will more than likely retain their value.
