The Military's design feels really unrefined compared to more modern spyderco knives. You just have to look at the Military 2 to see what's changed over the years. I'm also not a huge fan of the liner lock cutout. It's a bit uncomfortable to grip and not really necessary.

Highly debatable, clearly subjective.
Probably the Millie feels less like what people got used to these days with Spyderco, perhaps in some aspects actually really less like what "the majority" prefers.
On the flipside: A lot of praise particularly for its very
refined and extremely comfortable ergos.
For me (and I think here I probably AM in a minority) a choil almost can't get any better than on the Millie, gives great control, does not sacrifice a lot of edge: Perfect. In my view the pm2-ish choil is, while still good, a "downgrade".
Linerlock cutout: Well, being like it is contributes a lot to the superior usability with gloves and I personally find a comp.lock cutout to be more of an ergo "issue" in hard use.
Just my 2c. As most times: No right or wrong here.
