The vast majority of the writing staff has also left, and the show's going to be run by a guy named Dave Rosenthal this year who only worked on the show last year.
Amy's episodes have always been the heart and soul of the show. She writes those girls better than anyone ever has been able to. Daniel's episodes tend to be the ones that epitomize everything that people are critical of the show for- the weird allusions, overly snappy one-liners, and speed talking- but he still writes solid, funny episodes.
They also made some really crappy choices last year in the way they chose to write the Luke-Lorelai relationship, especially in the season finale.
This is way too much to write about this ridiculous subject and shows that I care WAY too much. So, in short-
1) Show creator has left
2) Writing staff is entirely new
3) They really f-ed up last season, and I don't know if they can fix it
4) Could be last year of the show anyways
