Should I get started with the Classic or the Steam version? What are the pros and cons of both versions?

I've very slowly gotten over the old muscle memory. For a while I hoped they'd be able to get the same configuration, but I'm not sure that's technically possible from what I've heard. It doesn't really bother me much anymore even though I loved it being all keyboard.

Rambling aside, are there not any mechanical updates that diverge from v47 yet? Obviously there's been a lot of work getting adventure mode and graphics up to snuff, but I thought some sort of minor changes were made along the way. Even what I'm thinking, or likely imagining, would be pedantic differences, though.

I think there's some very minor mechanical differences, mostly relating to the new UI and bug fixes/new bugs, but nothing major. My understanding is that they planned on finishing the villains stuff after the adventure update.
