Their customer relations have been nothing but silence or abuse for years now. I have heard that at least one of the translators for Yotsubato has been picked up (hope its the right one :) ). I have the japanese series to date (volumes 1-8) and whomever did volume 5 did a pretty decent job (though they rewrote a few lines completely for western sensibility imo). Yen Press and perhaps Viz are rapidly becoming my main source for "manga I like" and Tokyopop is just sliding away into oblivion with their cuts.

So long as the translation is decent, I think you'll find it a pretty smooth transition.

Reading the releases by ADV, I think we've become used to the way Yotsuba read. With the change in publisher and probably translation team, will our little Yotsuba and her friends still sound the same? Will the translation be drastically altered?

And I'm thrilled to see that there are more books to come. I share these concerns, but at least Yotsuba&! is mostly stand-alone stories. And I’m thrilled to see that there are more books to come.

However, I wonder if their effort will be hampered by the availability of the prior volumes. My retailer was unable to get volume 4 from Diamond when I requested it, and Amazon wasn't able to fill my order either. I finally found a copy at a local comic shop at which I have previously found other out-of-print books. So perhaps volume 4 is scarce? This is excellent news!
