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?
For those of you that are garus , if you do not have the patience with
dealing with NEWBIEs to Linux. just ignore the post and let someone who
does.
There is a number of people on this help site that are patience with
Newbies, Two that come to mind are Ed Greshko and Mike Cloaked .
As someone that is new to Linux, they were very patience with me.
Turning people away that do not know Linux like you do, does not do well
for Linux.
