>I've seen it in the Linux world where toolkits/desktop environments tried to chase the idea of converging UI's and we ended up with the worst of both worlds - miserable to use apps on a phone/tablet and miserable Desktop Apps. I abandoned Linux just because of this. Some people just don't get it. I don't want mobile UI in my double 1080p monitors which I do development on them.But people like gnome developers just don't get it.they push for various kind of animation without properly optimization and at the end we have gnome 3 debacle. I am not against animation or touch UI.But if you want develop touch UI do it simultaneously with desktop branch, not by ruining desktop. After so much debate just look at ridiculous ui for classic shell in recent gnomes. Are they fucking kidding people? Is that notification and tray icon for real? (I know there is extensions,but I am talking more broadly,about core developers mind sets.)
