If you have such problems with GNOME you write such long mails - well, you might still be under the impression anyone cares, but I thin it's time you got over it and moved on. Either pick a mature alternative or just suffer through. Your choice.

/me gets tired of such long rants. If people want GNOME to go in another direction, they either do the work, or move to a project which does fit their philosophy better (XFCE, KDE, Mate)

Mena-Quintero: A Friday rant on Gnome 3, journalists, and power users

Yes, too long - sorry for your buffer overrun.
I am no GNOME user - I never was (as I made clear) - but try
all DEs just for fun (and as a professional).
And your last statement is just mine ... at the end of my long
"rant". :))
My main point is the social change - we no longer have shareware
we say thanks and pay for - free software (as in GNU :) changed it.
Users do have rights - even without participating - but most will
at some point, helping other, explaining, writiting bug report -
and rants. :))
Not everyone should feel obliged to code.
I hope this is short enough for you.
(Don't take it personally - just a joke!) ;-)
