Window menu's still there, right? So alt-space, "N" should still work.

For better or worse, every computer user knows what a minimize button is and what it does. Replacing it with a cryptic key combination turns Gnome's goal of usability into a joke.

I actually quit on gnome because I got tired of trying to make it do what I want. The phrase that sticks in my mind from the linked email is "the GNOME 3 workflow". That says to me it's far from a joke: they're going down Apple's road.

More power to'em, it's a worthy effort, but the thing about limiting people's choices is you have to be right.

So I pretty much agree with you. The alt-space, "N" remark was just answering your question.
