Was fun while it lasted.
And you can stop right there. The rest of your argument is irrelevant.
I'm using Gnome fallback session precisely because I DONT want shiny (aka Gnome-Shell).
In the almost 10 years that I've been using gnome, they couldn't fix a bloody taskbar.
gnome-panel has ALWAYS crashed, regularly.
And now you kids want to follow them along on a magic carpet ride.
Ride the wave into the future, as they bring you the "next evolution in desktop usability".
Well thanks, but no thanks. I'm getting off at the next stop.
Unity,KDE,cinnamon are suffer from the same disease: Run the computer into the ground
bringing me eye-candy I don't want, instead of staying out of my way.
Compositing has done Z-E-R-O to improve my productivity, at the expense of increased
hardware requirements+prices, buggy drivers, more ram+cpu.
They all run like molasses and abondon they're original intent which was to launch applications.
I love special effects too. But don't slow me down to look at them while I'm working!
And now Gtk3 isn't even cross-platform any longer. I'm curious exactly what the gnome
devs do have resources for? I'd say "it's sad to watch this organization implode, discard they're
loyal user-base, chasing this bird in the bush." But clearly that's what they want. Best of luck to them.
Sigh, only question now is, where to run to?
