  This made me laugh out loud (in regards to the installer): "You enter a world of smartphone-like diarrhea that undermines everything and anything that is sane and safe in this most important of software configuration steps."

    It describes the thing perfectly. If you have an hour or so and like to cringe, I can only recommend trying that abomination of installer software in a VM. If only as a nice guide to find UI/UX problems by being shown perfect examples of what not to do.

      Unfortunately I pointed out and filed bugs for many of these during development, but they were ignored ...

        I had seen this also,I filed a bug ,they waited till the version reached End-of-Life and closed bugs asking me to reopen the issue,if it exists with latest version. I see lot of bug closed like this.That's bad.

  The installer made me feel really stupid. I think the only other UI that has that effect is Calibre's. EDIT: interesting read about the installer redesign: http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2011/06/16/making-fedora-easier-to-use-the-installer-ux-redesign/ http://blog.linuxgrrl.com/2011/06/16/making-fedora-easier-to...

      I don't seem to get the UI, it feels cluttered to me. Some actions have several variations that sound almost the same and apparently do different things (ie. send to device). I guess that because I don't use it frequently, I always have to click around several times until I find what it looks like the thing I need, and I'm almost never sure of it :) That sort of "what's going on!?" feeling I got with the new anaconda installer of F18.
