Yes, I was one of them! Although it was my first BA A321 NEO, so at least that was something. If I fly BA shorthaul it's almost exclusively from LGW, so I was unlikely to fly on a 321 NEO with them any time soon otherwise
Other unpleasant changes
An 148 > A320 with Rossiya
A340-500 > A320 with AZAL
Tu-134 > Tu-154 with AZAL
B747-400 > B777-200A with Air China (actually a rarer type, but still)
B747-400 > B777-300A with Thai (again, technically a rarer type)
Better Changes:
