I'm equally dismayed by your incessant whining about Gnome3 which I see as much the same thing.
I'm sorry that you feel that way, Craig. Please note, however, that I always make it very clear that these are the reasons that I personally don't use it and that I'm not suggesting that anybody else migrate away from it unless they too don't like it. And, I'd like to add that most of what I don't like is the result of design decisions that don't make the slightest bit of sense to me and that nobody on this list has tried to justify. Not that you have to of course, but it does strengthen my belief that the Gnome devs are working in an ivory tower, neither getting feedback from nor giving explanations to mere users. As long as what they wanted to give us was something I found easy to work with, it didn't matter much, but now, it's just one more reason to leave and never look back. And, you'll note, when there's a post asking how to get Gnome 3 to do something, I don't respond with a smart ass post telling them to try XFCE, KDE, LXDE or something else, because that wouldn't be answering their question.
Yes, Craig, I know that I can install a handful of third party extensions and eventually end up with something that's not completely unusable for me, but why should I if there are other DEs that work the way I want without spending days or weeks of work fussing with them?
