I don't grok the hate for Unity... There was of course the "Hey instead of having engineers make a new windowing system why not improve an existing one" argument, but ... it's a fine window manager.
- reitanqild 9y agoNo hate. I just point put it is hard to use for old grumpy engineers like me after they broke alt-tab with no accessibility option for grumpy old engineers. Meanwhile Gnome has done the same AFAIK. As for why it has sometimes got a bit loud it is because it was almost perfect and instead of fixing the last glitches they decided to ruin everything (to please ux people or mac lovers or something.)
- inanutshellus 9y agoCurious what the alt-tab problem is/was? It, in accompaniment with alt-backtick does everything I'd expect...?
- reitanqild 9y agoI can't use alt-tab alone to switch between all the things I work on. When I have to stop in the middle of the process to switch and use a different key that is a massive failure - in my book.
- inanutshellus 9y agoYou may not have noticed, but you don't need alt-backtick if you pause for a second or two on the icon. The window you're on then magically expands out into all the windows that comprise that app. I really didn't like it and I disabled it but if you don't like alt-backtick that'd be your savior. So while we do differ in what we like, Unity does support both, I think!
