The problem I'm commenting about is the Gnome dev's apparent attitude
that complaints from users can be ignored because their opinions are *by
definition* not worth listening to. A good software author listens to
the users and is willing to make changes to the UI if enough of them say
it's hard to use. From what I can see, even if 100% of all comments
about a particular feature were negative the Gnome devs would refuse to
change it because *they know better.*
