Oh yay! Another reason not to use GNOME! Thanks, guys! I had enough already, but every additional one makes the decision easier and easier!
• Titlebars. I liked title bars. You merged them with toolbars. I don’t want that. No thank you. But it’s not a choice, it’s mandatory! Well, thanks folks, but your desktop isn’t mandatory, either!
• Menu bars. Menu bars are fast and efficient. You got rid of them & patronise me like I’m on some crippled smartphone app, where a tiny, hard-to-find hamburger menu is enough for the paltry selection of choices in a crippled mobile app. GNOME brings this to the desktop, so now, my decisions are easier! Not only do I not want to run GNOME, I don’t want to run any GNOME app, either!
• You got rid of all the menus, but for some weird reason, you kept the menu bar. That’s a centimetre of my widescreen gone forever. Gee, thanks! Oh, and the clock is front and centre. Why? Do you want me to stamp in and out of my desktop with a card clock, as well? At least I can have app indicators for Skype and Dropbox and stuff ins– oh, you’re taking those away too? But they were useful! Not to you? But isn’t the customer always right? I’m not paying for it so I’m not a customer? Well if I am not paying, why do you want a gig of RAM? I’m paying for that! Can I have it back, please? No? Oh. Guess I will go use Xfce then.
• Hey, where are my desktop icons? What do you mean they’re a legacy feature? They were useful!
• At least the virtual desktops down the right were handy. Shame they are always on the right of my primary screen, not of the whole desktop, but I get that you don’t want me to use multiple screens. I don’t know why, but– oh, you’ve moved them? Where to? To the bottom? But I have a 16:9 monitor! I have nearly twice as much width as depth! Can I move it where I want? No? Why not? Whaddya mean you know what I want better than me? Hey, I got news for you, buddy… Meet my friends Mr rm -rf and Mr fdisk. They got a message for you.
