I find it strange that they give measurements in terms of pixels. When pixel density ranges from 96 pixels per inch to 200 pixels per inch and beyond on consumer hardware alone, pixels simply aren't an appropriate measurement for UI purposes. I don't mind display optimization, but it should be exactly that: optimization. Put another way, I prefer appropriately sized, blurry UI elements over crisp UI elements I have to use a magnifying glass to see. I also take issue with the stance against configuration. The one thing that I've found most frustrating about using computers in recent years is that I am constantly losing control over my programs to the headlong pursuit of "minimalism." Now, I don't mind simple interfaces. I don't even mind defaults geared toward the… technically challenged. What I do mind is being unable to decide how my computer behaves and how I interact with it, being effectively forced to use my computer in whatever way the developers of my current software stack have deemed best for most of their users—or, of course, switch to another software stack entirely. The latter approach doesn't exactly scale. Now, I suppose there's a third option: dig into the internals of the unconfigurable tools looking for dconf settings or configuration files I can hack at to give me back location bars and the ability to manipulate windows with the Alt key and the mouse. Of course, this is rather difficult when the developers have been actively discouraged from writing the documentation that would make this a relatively straightforward endeavour. Instead, I'm left first trying fruitlessly to Google any and every permutation and phrasing of what I want to accomplish, next hoping that Gnome Tweak or the equivalent has a fix for the recently nerfed functionality, and finally considering for a moment searching manually through the program source for what I want before deciding it's really not worth my time, at which point I usually just throw the program out entirely and install the most bloated KDE-based alternative I can find. /rant. I realize Elementary is designed to be as functional as possible in the hands of the non–power-user majority, but I wish it didn't come at the expense of power-usability. One can of course substitute in more powerful third-party programs for the simple system defaults, but one then loses system integration. I would love to see a project like Elementary cater to both groups of users, since I (like most self-described power users) belong to both groups, depending on the task at hand, but developers only ever seem interested in targeting one group or the other.
