Maybe someone can think that having less options is a plus, but for me it is not, of course. I have a very simple but highly tweaked desktop (I'm specially "picky" with fonts and sizes of the icons, text and panels) so when someone tells me that I have (yes or yes!) to have a top bar (which I never used before) I say: "Okay, that's enough for me". I'm open to new desktop paradigms and don't care much if the desktop looks like an iPad as long as I can make my own adjustments and things that have been always working (like multi-monitor with xinerama setups) are still working here. > So, why people is hungry with it ? (...) I think you wanted to say "angry", like the famous birds ;-) And yes, I feel more than angry when someone (or something) do not allow me to follow my own way and make my own customizations or having my desktop in the way I prefer. But I'm also lazy and GNOME2 has been serving me very well in these years, so I will give GNOME3+gnome-shell a chance before taking any radical step (like switching to another DE or WM).
