I'll avoid expressing my opinion of this opinion and merely ask: if you are so
passionate about the decisions the upstream projects have made why are you not
more involved in the development and decision-making that go into them?
Pardon, but
in case of gnome I am just an ordinary user, who is being
confronted with changes in the DE he has been using for many years but
now has become unusable for him.
This isn't MS or Apple - if you have an opinion express it
constructively by
getting involved and doing something positive.
Well, Gnome and Fedora are like MS and Apple, IMO. "Some people draw
decisions and press them through at any price",
Having watched numerous people start out on a hacking career by
getting involved
in Gnome and then quickly become very well respected developers (I'd name names
but I don't want to make anyone blush ;)
I am already involved in many projects
and don't have any time left to
also get involved in to Gnome.
