There is a paradigm shift going from Gnome2 to Gnome3 which I have not seen discussed on this list.
Gnome2 is totally mouse oriented. Everything you want to do you do by moving the mouse and clicking. Obviously I am rerring to Gnome2 itself not applications.
However, in Gnome3 a large fraction of actions have been moved to the keyboard.
This is the same difference as that of creating documents in Word and Latex. And this change in paradigm used to be a hot topic.
Does anyone out there have an opinion pro or con about this shift that will no doubt be continued into the future with Gnome?
I would just like to chip in and say I am using Gnome2 under F14 almost exclusively using the keyboard, and it works wonderfully :)
I am staying away from Gnome3 until F16, and guess I will have to find out the differences when I get there.
