"Overnight, a few key people decide to abandon the traditional desktop metaphor, against the will of a majority of their users and to the detriment of the whole linux desktop. The users hated it and are still hating it..." Seriously? I'm not a Wikipedia guy, but.. Care to provide some sources here? Back up - "overnight" - Versus an open discussion among everyone interested, with lots of early prototypes available to discuss the changes. - "against the majority of their users" - Got numbers? Reasonable surveys? Or are we just trusting that the loud crowd that curses about this change is not a vocal minority, but really 'the userbase'? - "the detriment of the whole linux desktop" - Puh - lease.. That's not even funny. This part is just sad.. - "Users hated it and are still hating it" - Generalization, care to provide numbers, surveys - ah, right. It's just a repetition of the second point, right? To really make it stick? Really, that was uncalled for and totally useless. You could've made your point about not being able to 'use the source' without adding unqualified attacks.
