Hello all,
(yet another negative feedback, probably among thousands of others on the net, and hence, may not be worth reading by developers, but I still hope my voice gets counted somehow)
Yeah well in fact it is kind of fading out ;)
I wish Gnome3 would use "classic" computer hardware, like keyboard and mouse with 3 buttons (and a wheel) -- *fully* exploiting these classic hardware controls (I won't explain, probably everybody who tried Gnome3, understands what I mean). Probably the target was all those touch-controlled screens, that's fine, but also keep the desktop GUI for classic hardware.
I don't get you! Never ever has Gnome been so usable with only a
keyboard. I mean lauch a program ex firefox with 3 keypresses ('windows
key, then f, then enter) try to be that fast in terminal or in Gnome2 ;) !
In my opinion the same holds for the mouse with all the buttons. You use
the left click to work in current context, right click for more options
in current context, middle click to open a new context, the wheel to do
all sorts of scrolling. I think there are hardly any functions missing?
I think Gnome2 evolved in a well-usable "classic" desktop GUI. May be upgrade it to use video-effects, rename it.. but really, continue it as a full sub-project. Operating system could then determine user harware and choose the apropriate desktop GUI for his/her hardware.
(As to videocard-accelerated effects.. I do welcome them, nice, eye candy, but to me, interested first in getting work done, they are of much less importance)
Which is why you can work faster than the animations if you know your
way with the keyboard you will notice that you can launch programms
before the animations are even finished (in subseconds) only on like 10
year old hardware the animations might get in the way!
(I tried Gnome 3.4 in new Debian 7 wheezy.)
Well Debian... the recent version is 3.8 - there were some changes ;)
If you are willing to try again there are some cheatsheets[1] floating
in the net to get an impression on how the intended workflow of Gnome 3
works... its a little different than before yes! It needs some learning
and getting used to it yes! But in my opinion its definately worth it!
Thank you, and keep up the good work. Literally: keep up the Gnome2 :)
