Also, in tweak-tool it should be added "explore in software" link that would lead to software application, ar adding to existing "add more extensions".Last edited by leipero; 28 May 2017, 08:25 AM.

There even exist people who think syntax highlighting is bloat.

Second, not sure i ever said that i use XFCE, to me even that is bloat. While KDE and Gnome are crazy bloats, on these two i can't decide just who is crazierLast edited by dungeon; 28 May 2017, 07:44 AM.

Really, the optimum way to use a computer nowadays is with a combination of both (CLI and GUI).
GUIs may come and GUIs may go, but the CLI is the one true timeless computer interface.

I believe the current version of what you are talking about this is the GNOME Flashback session.
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeFlashback
But it is true that GNOME did a hard break and not offer an easy way to transition to the new way of things e.g. by no allowing to easily switching fort and back single features from old to new. That may have not been their best move but one probably inspired by the likes of Steve Jobs when he removed the arrow keys from the keyboards so people had to start using the mouse instead.
They may have wanted people to try out their new concepts without everyone just switching to GNOME 2 mode by default and no one ever trying out the new stuff. Again this may have been a bad move but I understand why they would have done it.
At the end GNOME Flashback will stay a mixup experience of GNOME 2 Desktop concepts with applications clearly designed for GNOME 3.
It may ease the transition for some people.

( Maybe rather use the drug analogy for describing FLOSS as an option to heal people from proprietary software)
So would you not use a more modern tool that if you learned to work with it may be more efficient for you? Would you keep using a scythe because it was proven to be a reliable tool for farming although new tools are available? You know that people believed they would die from the speed the first trains where going? People adapted and by today we have all means of transportation and that is not because of the people who kept screaming we want to keep doing it the old way.
You will find many of the old things trough your life some kept for nostalgic reasons, some by people who wanted or could not change their ways and sometimes because it still is the best way to do things.
It still may be good to accept that both those things can happily coexist and sometimes even learn from each other.
No one is saying the old way is essentially the worse way to do things but it needs people and projects that try out new stuff.
But if people only can hate on DEs that do not fir their use that is sad. Like I said that energy could all be used to either express constructive critic or by contributing to projects that are more in line of what they expect their tools to behave.
Believe it or not there are people out there that enjoy GNOME 3 as a DE and user experience.
