I tried, but I turned away ... This Gnome 3 isn't a replacement for Gnome 2, it is an entirely different product with a completely different target audience. To me it's like my favorite take-away pizza store having stopped shipping pizza and now selling burgers instead. That said, I am sure Gnome 3 will find its target audience, but it will not be the Gnome 2 users - I for one have started to evaluate other desktops and other distros. > The Gnome developers missed a great opportunity to make keyboard > work easier by not implementing the use of the 'arrow keys' to navigate > the icons in the Dash and the icons in the applications overview for > example (like Ubuntu did with Unity which actually offers keyboard > users more versatility). Agreed, though Unity seemingly shares much of the mindset with Gnome 3 it comes with nice solutions to details (some of the superior to Gnome 3). > Experience it honestly for yourself. ;) It's what I am trying to do ... so far "no go" for Fedora 15 and Gnome 3 for me ;) Ralf -- 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
