- applfanboysbgon 2mo agoAnd yet, VSCode has ~70% developer share, largely because it can be everything to everyone, but no more than what you personally need. Just put a search bar in your preferences dialogue, it ain't that hard.
- JoshTriplett 2mo agoYup. GNOME 2.0 was a little rough because they swung far enough the other way, but it was still a huge improvement to remove all the "unbreak me" obvious preferences that only had one sensible answer. A few versions later, it was a delight to use.
- willtemperley 2mo agoGNOME 2 was lovely. Then GNOME 3 came and I switched to Mac.
- floriankarsten 2mo agoInteresting because i kept reading that people dislike GNOME 3 because it's like Mac.
- JoshTriplett 2mo agoMy experience with GNOME 3 was exactly the same as with GNOME 2: GNOME 3.0 was a little rough, but a couple of versions in, it felt great.
- VorpalWay 2mo agoAnd yet, KDE Plasma is so more usable than Gnome these days, because they swung too far into removing settings. You needed to install a separate Gnome Tweak tool to even be able to change font antialiasing settings last I looked, which is preposterous. I get literal headaches from the defaults.
- floriankarsten 2mo agoYou can't change font antialiasing on macos either. It might be the case that majority people wouldn't even touch whats in gnome tweaks. I use gnome on two machines and don't touch it. The font antialiasing seems fine?
- VorpalWay 2mo agoIt might be fine for some, but it is an accessibility issue. Just like some people can't deal long term with either light mode or dark mode (and some are fine with both).
