Certainly we can find our way in Gnome3 - eventually - for we are not retarded, and certainly we can decide whether to use it or not. But it's a sin to take something good - granted, possibly not perfect - and turn it into something unusable for so many people. Why did the UI have to change to something that looks and feels like a giant smart phone? Integrated chat and messaging? Where did that come from? Thank God you guys didn't integrate that into the kernel! I can't find much information about the gnome3 developers, but they must be generation Facebook - it's the "stay connected" philosophy that I see in gnome3. There's more to computing than that. I wish someone from the old guard found the time and energy to step up and straighten things up. I know, I know, different times, different priorities. The gnome2 UI was good, only the internals would have to be changed as needed. -- 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
