I personally don't mind the timeskip; while I didn't care for Spike's adult form, I felt like everyone else was okay. I mean, Twilight being an Alicorn does set her apart, so it makes sense that she would mature differenlty. As for the rest of the Mane 6, I don't exactly see what they would have changed about any of them apart from what did. Applejack's wasn't quite as old as Granny Smith, who kept a similar body type to Applejack's up to the point when her son was an adult. Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy seem to have taken after their mother's body types; Rarity, on the other hand, was wearing a cloak the whole time so who knows how she turned out.

I don't think the idea was to do anything new with Luster Dawn; it was more to bring things full circle, seeing Twilight on the other side of the scenario in which she was in when the series began. I do agree that the move to Canterlot was dumb; she was chosen as the Princess of Friendship and given a castle by the Tree of Harmony, and she should have stuck with it. Ponyville would be a better capital anyway; Canterlot is too unicorn-centric. Seeing her friends once a month doesn't seem too unrealistic; that's about as often as I see my best friend from my high school days. But that's just me, of course.
