Split view is only about seeing more at the same time and using the horizontal space effectively.

No more awkward navigation through small menus to reach my app starting icon. I use it all the time cause its faster and uses my screen real estate better. I use it on KDE by the way. KDE these days has 3 alternative "start menus". And one is like gnome's/android's. On kde you can even controll the size of the icons.
Such choice and enabling me to configure things how I want - thats what makes kde still great despite less stability, non ideal hdpi, unfinished wayland, clutter and less polish in general.

How so? If you're using a split-screen file manager, you're going to click a button or use a keyboard shortcut to split the window,

Under Nautilus, you're going to click a button or use a keyboard shortcut to duplicate the current window, then navigate to the two folders you want to work with. The number of steps, and the amount of time, is identical.

Nah. The philosophy is proven 100%. No API proves 100% flexibility for extension developers. Session support proves all downstream can tailor desktops.

As for the desktop, I'm glad that we have many desktops, and we're not forced to use the pile of half-chew vomit that is Gnome 3, it managed something not many graphical environments have ever even gotten close to, it is worse than Finder on MacOS.

People even send emails with attached stuff instead of just using the goddamn shared folder.
Although it's rarely done with split screens. People use 2 file manager windows when they drag and drop.Last edited by sdack; 11 September 2017, 04:34 AM.

This doesn't mean there is no data duplication going on, which I believe is partly the reason why some here loose their marbles over my comments. There is in fact a lot of it happening all the time. But these happen briefly and invisible to the user, i.e. when Office makes a working copy of a file for you. And of course your backup will have copies of your files, too. You only don't need to create additional copies, but you are rather wasting your time and don't use the existing infra structure right or just aren't aware of how it works. I'm sure many people duplicate files simply out of fear they might be doing something wrong and because they don't know any better.Last edited by sdack; 11 September 2017, 03:14 AM.
