I have to disagree on a couple points:
A single media player for audio and video is not desirable. They're separate and almost unrelated functions; the only time they might belong together is syncing to another device. That's not to say Rhythmbox couldn't use some polish.
How, exactly is Gnome's panel crude? I find panel applets far more natural than the system tray for little utilities that aren't part of a larger app, and I really don't care for Apple's dock. Is there some justification for this claim?
- rbanffy 17y agoIn my experience, many people don't like Gnome because it doesn't look like the desktop they are used to. If I went back some 40 years and presented Gnome to IBM mainframe users, they would complain the lettering is not green on black. But I would love to have the 3278 font available on my boxes. And no, it's not exactly the one on x3270. They got the 6's and 9's wrong
- Zak 17y agoI've found that reaction doesn't last very long. In fact, configuring any Linux desktop to look extremely similar to Windows[0] leads users to think everything will be extremely similar. They tend to be more upset upon discovering unexpected differences than they are when it's obviously different from the start. [0] I say Windows here because I've only seen in with Windows users. Users of any other platform are used to the idea of different operating systems.
