peopole who WORK with their computer will never use touch input in
their normal workflow - not now, not tomorrow and not in ten years!

so the primary user-interfaces should not be designed for toys
like iPhone / iPad - these are nice things when you do not have a
real computer near you but will never replace a workstation

yes, the count of peopole who is satisified enough with a smartphone
is growing becuase they never REALLY used a computer, but stop
deisgn interfaces primary for these people and waste a lot of space
with buttons (this gnome2 did long before gnome3)

stop to destroy the worklflow of peopole who will really work with
their computers and using a workstation now and for the next
30 years!
