Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)Posted Nov 10, 2011 11:54 UTC (Thu) by drag (subscriber, #31333)In reply to: Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register) by eduperez Parent article: Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)
I don't move my mouse anywhere.
I just hit the "windows button" and then type what application I want to a appear.
No drop down list, no waiting for icons to re-arrange, and no trying to hit tiny rectangles at the far edges of my screen.

A sure sign that _graphical_ UI is done right. :-)

UI is a UI.
I prefer one that I can use efficiently rather then one that is something I have to look at and hunt around icons or lists of text.
Anyways...
The 'activities' switcher is actually quick enough that nowadays I rarely actually can select windows faster then having to hunt around on a list of open windows even if I do feel like using my mouse. :)

Don't want to be difficult here, but kinda isn't. When I'm sitting back in my chair, with my hands _not_ at my keyboard, then the graphical UI + mouse is it.

You can use Gnome-Shell without using the keyboard. There's a list of all apps in overview, and they are also categorized like the gnome 2 menus if you want. You can add them to the favourites bar on the left side of the overview screen, and you can get to overview without touching the keyboard.
