... or a different distro, which is equipped
with DEs which better match
an individual's demands.
I can see the logic in that, but it's a shame. If everyone who
wants
a bit of user interface stability jumps ship there will be no brakes
on the Gnome developers at all: they'll just carry on deleting user-
configurability and adding kewl new features.
Isn't this what the people who
are promoting Gnome 3 in Fedora intend?
The trouble is, anyone
who installs Fedora or uses the live DVD gets whatever is the default,
but an experienced Fedora user like me will have no idea how to use
the thing... ;-)
Isn't it obious? People like you (and me) will have to go through a
learning curve, which either ends up in total satisfaction, an
arrangement with or in a divorce from Gnome3 and/or Fedora.
I for one will likely stay with F14 on my "productive systems", will
start to experiment with other DE's on F15 and with other distributions
on experimental installations. Momentarily, I have no idea were this
will lead me to or, on a wider scope, which impact Gnome 3 in F15 will
have on Fedora in general.
