Gnome 2 slowly returned to the old behaviour in many ways. Gnome 3 is starting to do this.
As someone who, I presume, does not like Gnome 3, and as someone who, I will wildly guess, shares the notion that GNOME devs are doing whatever they want and not listening to your use cases...
...are you certain...
...absolutely certain...
...that you'd like to be on record setting the precedent that GNOME 3 is admitting failure by compromising to your standards?
On record? Is there going to be a trial? What frustrates me is it's such an uphill battle. Step 1: Everything changes. Step 2: Users protest, some leave. Step 3: Supporters respond there's nothing wrong and essentially everyone who doesn't like it is too stupid or lazy. Step 4: Users carry on complaining. Step 5: Some features are gradually re-added, without ever acknowledging there was a problem in the first place. Step 6: Minor release? Go to step 4. Step 7: Major release? Go to step 5.
Hmm, you seem to forgot that there is also alternative: Step 2: New users try it, like it, stay with it.
P.S. As everything is subjective I have to assure you that I'm one of these - former KDE, now Gnome 3 user.
