Were this a commercial product, you will hearing from your customers who otherwise will drop the product (gnome-3, that is) and seek solace elsewhere. IMO, the peanut-gallery started with Gnome-3, not Gnome-2. I have installed and played with Gnome-3, and my first impressions was: unholy shite! Where in the ruckus has everything gone! Also, my (not that old) desktop ran fine with Gnome-2, but fell into 'fallback-mode' and went from turtle to slug. This left a very bad taste in my mouth and I will not use Gnome-3 as it is. I truly understand Linux Torvald's impressions... what a (bleep!) "unholy mess"! (paraphrased) I imagine the grief of those who invested into Linux (having ripped out Winbows due to costs) with Gnome-2 installed by default, having to explain to their superiors why they need to update and retrain their people the way of the mobile UI. It seems to me, a LOT of work went into Gnome-3, with the expectation that the Linux community will have to have it ramroded into their throats, mercilessly water boarded without resistance, and their screams silenced... Didn't expect that, did you? -- 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
