Kamp: A Generation Lost in the BazaarKamp: A Generation Lost in the BazaarPosted Aug 22, 2012 23:05 UTC (Wed) by bojan (subscriber, #14302)In reply to: Kamp: A Generation Lost in the Bazaar by drag Parent article: Kamp: A Generation Lost in the Bazaar
What I was trying to point out is that I think both you and the original poster have it wrong. Legitimate complaints about Gnome (3) are based on neither the amount of caring for "grand design" nor feature creep/removal. It is far more mundane than that. As I said, it is essentially a utilitarian problem.
People were able to do certain things the old way. They find that in the new system they either cannot do them or that they are more cumbersome. That's about it. They couldn't give a toss about the rest.
So, the pertinence of my comment in relation to Gnome design is in the fact that that design is concerning itself with irrelevancies (i.e. the philosophy), so it cannot possibly be the source of legitimate complaints.

The problem with GNOME3 is not their vision but that they didn't leave the old version in place while they created it. You should be able to upgrade any distro from GNOME2 to GNOME3 without seeing any differences. Your old interfaces should remain intact and in place.
That doesn't happen with something like Ubuntu 12.04.
They didn't just make something new. They trashed the old stuff while they were at it. They made new forks necessary just by refusing to leave the old stuff alone.

Exactly my point. Thank you.
