I don't think it's so much caving to whiners as it is keeping things on the same relative scale of gold efficiency. A lot of people said that the Manamune wasn't worth it and I completely believe those people to be wrong. Take it as your first item and not only would you end up with ~70 AD from it by the end of the game, but you'd never have to think about mana again, which is still important past the laning stage; nothing is more frustrating than someone being in kill-range of your skill, but they get out because you didn't have the mana.
Most people ignore the fact that Manamune gives you plenty of MP/5 and a huge pool when talking about it, like all it does is AD. That's stupid. They make it sound like it's more efficient to buy a BF Sword and then something like a chalice. It's not. That's basically the definition of inefficiency. You also can't rely on blue buff being available at all times to handle mana issues.
Point being, Manamune gave way too much for the mere 1910 (or whatever) gold that it cost. Doesn't make me any less sad to see it nerfed.
