Instead of relying in random comments, It would be great to see in an actual poll, how many people hate the new Windows 8 UI. In my personal opinion, the new UI is mostly fantastic. Perhaps I find it so, because I have strong visual memory, and usually adapt to new UIs in minutes. If it were available for Linux, I would consider it for my day to day use.
It is unfortunate, how it seems that so many people resist to UI advances. Even more so, on a place like HN. This kind of stubborn rejection seems pulled from something like a geeksquad forum. Another example is Ubuntu, which has collected massive hate, on considerable less groundbreaking UI changes.
- Mikeb85 13y agoYup. Never understood the Ubuntu Unity hate either. While I prefer Gnome Shell, Unity is still an improvement on Gnome 2, and has some very interesting features of its own (like lenses and the HUD).
- dragontamer 13y agoI hate the new Gnome, but am more or less pleased with Win8 Metro. Its the technicals of Win8 Metro that I can't stand however (sideloading licenses, the locked-down nature, etc. etc.)
