Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)Posted Nov 13, 2011 7:27 UTC (Sun) by russell (subscriber, #10458)In reply to: Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register) by drag Parent article: Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)
The only ass GNOME has kicked is it's users. I've put time and effort into GNOME, promoting GNOME, having GNOME adopted as a platform for paid work. Now they have crippled the platform, alienated users, and destroyed any confidence I had in using it as a base for other systems. Would I trust GNOME with another 10 year road map. No way!

If you mean, "your desktop is ruined! Switch desktops!" then your comment makes perfect sense.

perhaps you miss understand. If gnome was just a desktop then no big deal. But it's also a platform on which to develop products that put food on the table. Now that it's taken this direction and loosing users, and become somewhat crippled, it's not a very attractive/reliable platform to build on. There are more people than just me paying attention and giving GNOME a wide berth. This year, the next, and maybe forever, won't be the year of the desktop for GNOME unless they do it all themselves. But that isn't going to happen. They are too busy ripping and rebuilding the foundations.
