Now, as much as I strongly disagree with the UI changes anaconda made
in F18, I just as much loathe, maybe even more, getting personal in
technical discussion. You're going overboard, I strongly believe, with
this comment. Please calm down.

And now, while I'm at it -- something on topic:
-1 from me for Cinnamon. As much as I'd like to see something different
as our default desktop than Gnome Shell (which is, just as the new
Anaconda, going down the dumbing-down road where your PC is supposedly
more clever than you and knows better than you what you want), I don't
think it's wise to switch to something that has been only recently
imported into Fedora, has next to none history and does not have that
kind of strong developers' support (aka people working on it either
upstream or in Fedora) Gnome does.

When you've got a strong developer base, come back again and we can
consider it seriously.

Martin
