I'm sorry that you feel that way, Craig. Please note, however, that I
always make it very clear that these are the reasons that I personally
don't use it and that I'm not suggesting that anybody else migrate away
from it unless they too don't like it. And, I'd like to add that most
of what I don't like is the result of design decisions that don't make
the slightest bit of sense to me and that nobody on this list has tried
to justify. Not that you have to of course, but it does strengthen my
belief that the Gnome devs are working in an ivory tower, neither
getting feedback from nor giving explanations to mere users. As long as
what they wanted to give us was something I found easy to work with, it
didn't matter much, but now, it's just one more reason to leave and
never look back. And, you'll note, when there's a post asking how to
get Gnome 3 to do something, I don't respond with a smart ass post
telling them to try XFCE, KDE, LXDE or something else, because that
wouldn't be answering their question.

I suppose we weren't supposed to notice more whining when it is
sandwiched between justification for the whining and
self-congratulations on your own perceived good behavior?
