That's your opinion.

I use absolutely no extension and don't feel the need for any of them.
But that's my opinion.

Are you implying that the GNOME developers didn't think?

I'm sure they love to read that the 2 years they spent on defining what
GNOME 3 would be, followed by more than a year of iterating on it, were
not enough in your opinion.

GNOME 3 is not an accident. It's not a weird dream that an inebriated
designer barely remembered when he woke up. It is a carefully thought
user experience. (which of course is not finished just yet ;)

You realize that this is what almost everyone has been asking you from
the start? To take any useful feedback to where it can actually be
useful?

It's not that « we don't want to hear the ugly truth ». It's that if the
truth is ugly, then it must be taken where it is possible to do
something about it.

You don't fix bugs or create new designs on ambassadors@, it's just not
the right place.

Glad you realized that there's more to Fedora than it's current default
desktop. :)
