You should probably not be using development software if bugs annoy you so much and you have no desire to even report them. For instance, the Backspace key not working could be just a bug.

I'm OK with reporting and testing bugs. I file lots of stuff.
However, I'm definitely not OK anymore with GNOME's brain-missing designers. Lack of backspace key navigation was definitely NOT a bug, but a design decision.
BTW, my comment to the blog post asking about this behavior has been moderated. That's why there are so many positive reactions in the comments and almost no negative ones.

It is a bug. Bitching about unstable versions of software is a bit... telling.

Is it really a bug or a design feature? Cause I can't tell it with GNOME anymore.

I'm quite happy to spend the effort reporting a bug which affects me, so that it may be fixed in future versions where I benefit; I'm even happy to report bugs I notice which don't actually affect my use, or where I found a workaround, so that others can benefit, but I find it a bit ludicrous to suggestion opening bugs for removed functionality as a means of communication with the designers, who have made changes but not publicly described them such that users can't tell whether their useful functionality was designed away "for their own good", or removed accidentally in the cross fire.
