As a Nikon user, does it bother you at all how quickly Nikon tends to roll out new models?
It seems like they obsolete older models pretty quickly in favor of minor spec updates. It seems like they debut a new FF camera every couple of months.
Maybe that is just my perception as a Canon user, as Canon tends to do the opposite.

Why would it bother me? It's nice that the 'older' cameras are being phased out. I can get a used one for a lot less if I wanted to upgrade from my current camera (a D600). But since my D600 does all that I really need, why would a fast schedule of new cameras affect me at all? I guess if the intent is to remain on the bleeding edge, then it may affect your resale price.

I enjoyed reading Adorama's newsletter last night where they proclaimed: "Bring your vision to life with Nikon's first full-frame DSLR!"
By morning they had figured out their mistake and sent out the the rest of the sentence: "to feature a tilting Vari-angle display and built in Wi-Fi®."
As a Canon user, I wouldn't mind if Canon released full frame models more often so we'd have updated tech to choose from, but that would go against Canon's business model of pulling every possible cent out of older tech.

I know I am comparing Apples and Nikons here, but look at Mac Mini, aren't we tired of waiting for updates? if they update a product too fast, we complain, if they update it too slow, we also complain. first world problems

It is strange, lately Nikon has increased their incremental body roll outs and Canon has slowed down in the past 3 years.
Used to be the pro cameras updated about every 24 months, prosumer at 18 and entry cameras are pretty much an annual update.
Nikon's recent yearly update on mid and upper level cameras caught me off guard. The 610 was a fix for the 600's shutter issue with few improvements. The d810 came out sooner and added decent upgrades. What I don't understand is where this d750 really fits since the 6fps frame rate is fast enough for sports but pokey by today's standards. Anything faster would cannibalized the d4/d4s cameras. Oh, d4s, another upgrade I didn't see coming so soon.
The best part about these quicker upgrades is the recently replaced but similar replaced model drops in value on the used market. The tech improvements of the 810 do not make me regret getting the d800. D800 prices have dipped below $2k on the used market. I saw a used 600 drop to around $1100.

I thought it might bother users because many incremental changes and additional camera models make me question why they didn't get it right in the first place, like there's no clear plan and the roadmap is not clearly thought out. Constant introductions of new models seem like a "throw it against the wall and see what sticks" approach.
It does drive down prices for older cameras which is great. My main camera is 2008 technology. I can't wait until they intro another so I can step up to the 2012 model. 
Canon has been slowing down of late - even their Rebel line has not had any movement recently.
