"...tweak tool or extensions."
To me, this is the problem. I don't want to rely on extensions that will potentially break when Gnome updates or be abandoned when their developers move on to other things. I also don't want to be forced to spend hours fiddling with settings in order to get something that isn't completely broken. I just want my stuff to work.
I also find the graphical nonsense in Gnome 3 and KDE 4 nauseating. They make for some sexy Youtube videos (like Compiz when it first came out) but for day-to-day use I find them awful (and shockingly buggy, but that's another debate).
- rufugee 13y agoIt took me all of 10 minutes to get it working the way I like. And the extensions are simple javascript....easy to hack if you need to. I get what you're saying, but I think you're overstating things a bit...probably because you just haven't tried it.
- sandGorgon 13y agoactually the extensions system in gnome is kind of magical. You go to extensions.gnome.org using Firefox and click a button and suddenly your alt-tab behavior has changed. It is awesome - I think the phrase "extensions" has come to connote "complications" ... but is not the case in Gnome. I'm actually impressed at how they built a javascript API to be able to mess with core UX !
