Yes, wasted space is a bad thing:
- on the media space is important, the liveCD had already to leave out
useful applications due to space constraints;
- for an online install there is much more to download;
- more libraries will require more updates to be downloaded and
installed in the future;
- how about machines with a limited amount of RAM?
which toolkit an app uses - when they can use it and it works.
I detailed in another message why users care. Well, maybe not the users
coming from Windows, where almost every application has its own
incompatible look and feel...
Ok, 3 seconds it too much time to wait :) Then switch to windows, they
boot much faster than linux :) Speed is not a sane argument here for
me.
GnomeBaker is much faster to start (because the libraries are already in
memory).
I use it all the time, ISO burning the most, making cd and dvd
compilations of multimedia... etc... formating DVD-RW and DVD+RW's...
I believe you know about ISO burning with a right-click directly from
Nautilus.
Of course, the rule is not always true, as Firefox is preferred to
Epiphany, and examples can continue on both sides.
Firefox is a great example and also is OpenOffice on KDE where it
feels a bit misplaced but is needed still.
I see quite a lot of KDE users preferring Konqueror instead of Firefox
and OpenOffice.org was kicked out of the LiveCD because is too large.
