As I stated elsewhere in this thread: Sometimes you don't get to choose. If GNOME is the only desktop environment on your employer's enterprise Linux distro and you do not have root or other window manager choices due to corporate security policies then the GNOME devs' vision is what you get. Yes, it sucks to not have more options, but it is what it is. >> It reminds me of children having tantrums when mom doesn't cook the free meal they want, instead cooking what mom and dad like.

It's condescending and offensive to treat others as children just because they disagree with a designer's "grand vision". That is the main reason why so many GNOME forks sprang up: MATE: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=121162 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=121162 Cinnamon: https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1910 https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1910 Unity: https://web.archive.org/web/20101129161856/http://www.pcworld.com/article/208708/canonical_ubuntu_splits_from_gnome_over_design_issues.html https://web.archive.org/web/20101129161856/http://www.pcworl...
