Both my laptop and my desktop are now running XFCE instead of Gnome because I don't like the direction Gnome is taking. If the Gnome Shell were optional, and the type of UI that's been part of Gnome for years were still part of Gnome 3 for those of us who prefer it, I'd never have considered changing. As it is, not only have I jumped ship, I'm suggesting that all of my friends who use Gnome take a look at XFCE in case they end up feeling the way I do. (From what I can see, the Gnome Shell is designed to appeal to young computer users who've always used a GUI and want the Latest and Greatest, partially *because it's the Latest and Greatest. Most of the computer users I know personally grew out of that mindset decades ago, meaning that we're not part of the target demographic.) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
