There were no mistakes in design? That's all well and good but people
can't use a product that isn't there yet. I honestly don't understand
why there's a trend to drop an older version of a product, release a
next generation version which does *less* than the older version. And
they wonder why people bitch about it?
In contrast, Gnome3 introduced some stuff (that most people here
dislike) as a
*design* *decision*, and they have no intention of changing it --- which is
not something that is going to change so easily over time. I really wonder if
anyone will ever persuade the Gnome3 devs to put back the Shutdown button
where it belongs. ;-)
Or why I have to press Alt + RMB to pop up a menu on a panel in Gnome?
Seriously, WTF?
