I beg to differ. Icons on a desktop make it quick and easy to launch
programs that you use constantly. What's a Bad Idea from the Windows
world is having every program you install insist on putting another
icon on your desktop, generally speaking without asking. In fact, I
know of one game (Joint Operations, from NovaLogic) that puts Yet
Another Icon on your desktop for every upgrade mod you install so that
you can launch the original version, or with either one or both of the
upgrades active. Why anybody wants to is left unanswered.
Clearly, you don't particularly like icons. That's fine; you don't
have to use them if you don't want to. However, it's not up to you
(or anybody else) to tell us we shouldn't use them simply because you
don't like them. That kind of One True Way thinking is not only one
of the things that made many of us investigate Linux in the first
place, it's one of the things that drove me (and probably others) away
from Gnome3.
Sorry to rant, but stating personal opinions as though they were
indisputable facts tends to push one of my buttons.
As I've learned from experience!....LoL!
