I think it's a great move. They were wasting time and energy in spats with Gnome. Now they can do what they want with the desktop without anyone getting upset that they are not trying hard enough to work their changes in upstream or adding features that aren't wanted upstream.
- aphexairlines 16y ago> They were wasting time and energy in spats with Gnome. Gnome is much more than just metacity or gnome-shell. Even with Unity, Ubuntu will still depend on upstream gnome software for its desktop.
- YooLi 16y agoNo one said they weren't going to include gnome software. This whole new ui issue stems from differences in opinion in UI/UX and there was a lot wasted going back and forth with Gnome about them.
- jdub 16y agoCan you document or reference the "lot wasted going back and forth"? That sounds like a convenient rationale, but doesn't appear to reflect reality.
