Yep.  When I started using notXEmacs on Windows 95/NT a few months ago
the first thing I noticed was the difference in keybindings in dired.

Back in Jan. I asked this list about that, and found out that XEmacs
would be changing to match when efs (which includes dired) replaced
ange-ftp.

This has now come to pass, and I've been gritting my teeth and trying
to get used to the new keybindings rather than changing them.  I've
almost gotten used to them now, but I don't know how many times I've
hit 'r' on a file to rename it and gotten honked at and seen the
message 'Cannot convert to babyl format'.  Argh.

All in all I think the new dired is a big win.  I'll just be happier
when I've retrained my fingers to hit 'R' and 'C' instead of 'r' and
'c'.
