GNOME 3.3.3 Heats Things Up For GNOME 3.4

[Kivada]

Positive comments really make me smile . Because there are so few of them around here... I really wish that everyone could see that Gnome is not "ruining" or "killing" anything. There are alternative DEs for everyone, and no reason to whine if you've already found your favourite. If that happened to be Gnome 2, there are options there as well. Mint's direction with GNOME 3, MATE etc... The negativity towards anything different or unexpected needs to STOP. It's making the community as a whole look childish and backward. If you don't like it, fair enough. But no need to shout about it every chance you get. Now it would be okay if you DID use Gnome 3, but thought one or two things were letting it down. But people who don't even use it and never plan to should just grow up a bit and keep their voices down. Got a little carried away. Point is - I love the positivity - keep it coming !

Not quite, many of us have tried the alternatives and found them to be quite lacking. What is childish and immature is releasing a half baked desktop environment as your one and only supported version. It's like saying Vista was an upgrade from XP-SP2/3.

As always, new=better is not always the case, Gnome3 is proof of that, maybe 3.4 will be G3's Service Pack 2, maybe they'll just come out with a complete version and call it Gnome4 and hope everyone forgets the whole thing.

How about re-implementing Drag-n-drop? Talk a bout reverting functionality when they actually managed to screw that one up. I can't drag and drop from a folder to the bookmarks/shortcuts in the sidepanel.

Nothing got reverted here. It just not implemented yet see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661275
I might get to it in the 3.4 time frame but no promises.
