I wonder if you can say the same? As a matter of fact I can. But this is irrelevant because I supported my position with the work of experts who have studied the relevant problem rigorously. The best you can do for a response is to mutter that you still don't agree? Sorry, that doesn't cut it. This is a question of science, not philosophy. Support your dissent with evidence or pipe down. [...] fanboys [...] Here's a tip: when complaining about mean words that are hurting your widdew feewings, it's best to avoid casually peppering the very same sentence with insults. [...] anyone that dares to actually want their *nix machine to behave like a *nix machine [...] Exactly where in the Single Unix Specification are keyboard bindings for text entry fields in graphical widgets specified? Oh, wait, I remember: nowhere. Kindly cease trying to dress up your preferences with a veneer of standardization. [...] claiming that 'no one that is sane' would possibly want that, and therefore that those of us that do don't matter and should just go die (paraphrasing a bit, but it certainly seems accurate to the sentiments expressed) [...] What you've done is misrepresent, not paraphrase, those sentiments. No one has said or even implied that anyone should die. As I've noted before your sense of proprotion is sorely lacking. Some of the posts against your position have been inappropriate and the one that claimed "nobody that is sane gives a crap" is a good example. In fact, the person who posted that later appologized. (I'm trying to imagine you showing such civility... nope, can't picture it.) None of that excuses hijacking a simple informative article about a GTK+ release for the purpose of attacking the character of developers who are too busy doing useful work to defend their decisions on every existing internet forum. Nor does it excuse churlish and false statements such as "GNOME doesn't respect users!", "Making Windows keybindings the default keeps unsophisticated users from becoming sophisticated!" and "GNOME eliminates features just because Windows doesn't have them!" Clearly GNOME and GTK+ lack something you want. Clearly you are unable to engage the developers in a productive dialogue unlike innumerable people in a similar position who file bug reports that get fixed. Clearly you are determined to lay this at the feet of the GNOME and GTK+ developers. That's your problem. To me it's obvious that all those users who do get results know something about humility and interacting with others that you simply haven't grasped.
