Gnome3 doesn't fail because of that - it fails because it doesn't alert the user and teach them the changes as they use Gnome3.
For example. I have Firefox running. I want another Firefox window, so I click the Firefox icon. At this point, why doesn't Gnome3 say "Hey! Just so you know, you've already got a Firefox window open, so we'll take you to that - but if you want a NEW Firefox window, click the logo again while holding down Control".
- wisty 15y agoThe last time someone tried that in a big way was MSOffice. Remember the paperclip? People's reaction was so violently negative everyone has been scared to try it again.
- nodata 15y agoNo that's not the same. The paperclip was something separate, on another part of the screen, that tried to "help" for absolutely everything, constantly, and again and again. I'm suggesting something similar to what gmail does: when a new feature is launched you get a popup box near the new feature with an arrow pointing to the feature explaining two things: 1. What it does and why it would be useful 2. How to get rid of the popup box, but also how to get the info from the popup box again later if you need it.
