Before, all you needed to do to revoke access to all those crazy 3rd parties you gave your password to was: change your password.
Now, you need to figure out where to go to revoke permissions, figure out what 3rd party app you no longer want, and figure out exactly what permission (in Facebook's case, but not Twitter's). It's confusing even for technical people because it's nonstandard and different on every OAuth provider's site.
Previous to OAuth people would hand over their credentials to third party apps. That's what sucking looks like.
