And you are not doing these people any favours by telling them they should use some other environment instead, because if Gnome is 95% perfect then KDE, Xfce, Blackbox, etc. will all be worse for them.
Too bad that +5 is the highest moderation you can get. I think this one sentence sums up the situation better than all of the other posts I have read. I, too, am a Gnome user and do not like the direction it is going. The two most common scenarios I see are:
- A Gnome user complains about the direction Gnome is going and is told by the developers that sorry, but you are not the target user.Their target user appears to be someone who has never used a computer before — basically, no one who has been using Gnome since the beginning.
- Someone complains about Gnome in a public forum and is told if you don't like Gnome, use KDE.If I had wanted to use KDE, I would. KDE thinks that if 5 options are good, then 100, poorly organized, poorly documented options are that much better. I detest KDE.
So where does that leave us, the dispossessed Gnome users? I wish I knew.
