The point would be to 1) generate revenue so they can do bigger things and 2) be more in tune w/ customer needs and desires (i.e., the opposite of GNOME).

Charge maybe $10 for an initial desktop install and $5 for each update thereafter (or $5 / yr). Maybe have a free version that doesn't have support for new updates (i.e., non-security related updates to the PPAs).

Some people are just a little more rigid in their style and can't stand OOP. I see uses for both styles. C++ is not the most elegant language and that seems to turn off a lot of people.
So again it's a question of what's your situation and what is "Better" to you?Last edited by Luke_Wolf; 04 March 2013, 05:58 PM.

First they adapt GNOME 2 with a patchset from hell. Then they adopt GNOME3 elements, but write their own interface called Unity. Then they design a 2d look-alike called Unity 2D written using Qt. Then they drop it. Now they are rewriting Unity in QML.
It must be hell for their developers. Tomorrow someone might come in and say "Forget it boys, today we're rewriting everything in C# and FLTK". Who makes these decisions?

And I'm only being half-facetious.
