People who are getting worked up about the current state of GNOME 3 are just being stupid... they have other DM's to choose from
this is a dumb argumentation for several reasons
first of all most people have work to do and not look all the time which desktop does not interrupt their workflow
clearly the best way not to interrupt your workflow is not to upgrade at all... who is being stupid here?
so you recommend in other words using F4 after EOL in december this year eith all impact: no security updates, no new hardware support?
and stupid are only people who accept all and switching silently because the chance is big if not enough people are saying loud enough that it is stupid throw away a DE and replace it with another one while raise only the version counter sooner or later the desktop they choose now will make the same epic fail
First of all, no one 'threw' anything away. GNOME 2 code is available, GPL and if distributions want to maintain it, they can include it forever.
nice theory, but not more
Secondly, if you have a group that shares your view, fork the GNOME code and package it for Fedora or any other distributions... knock yourself out. Seems as though it's awful easy to whine but none of the whiners actually want to do any of the work.
you are not realize the difference between users and developers!
Lastly, you seem eager to speak for many people but I don't see but a handful of vocal obdurates that 400 years ago would have been known as 'flat earth' people
dumb argument
what have this to do with a actually destroyed workflow?
Life goes on, things change, your ox has been gored. Do something about it if you want but recognize that endless whining on list pretty much is a waste of time and energy... suit yourself
you call it waste of energy
i call it HARDLY NEEDED because the folk who decided invasive changes in users workflows in other cases would think all is super and the next time the same happens again
nope... pretty much all the distro's are wrestling with the same issues. For that matter, Apple has done much the same with Lion and Microsoft is doing much the same with Windows 8. Everyone is on a drive to produce the next generation user interface.
and that is exactly teh problem we DO NOT NEED a apple-clone
there is nothing which i hate more than the missing usability of the apple-gui for power-users - as example: finder is the most laughable filemanager out there
if someone like this crap -> well buy an apple computer!
I switched to Ubuntu server - wasn't a big deal. It was still Linux last time I checked
*lol*
you have swicthed one single webserver with standard packages and think you understand the world? so try to switch a infrastrcuture with > 20 servers intracting 100% automated one with each oter, self written deployments and a bun ch of service-dependencies
you can not and you think only you can because it seems you have never seen a professional environment where people really work with their computers (servers and desktops) the whole day and often also night
