Reducing the number of key clicks isn't a gain if it means you have a much bigger list to look through. You can't measure usability purely in number of clicks, or having the categorized menu would never have been an improvement in the first place.<br>

Well perhaps it would be best to tackle the individual issues...<div class="im"><br><br>I've linked to previous threads on my main issue with GNOME Shell<div><br><a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2009-December/msg00052.html" target="_blank">http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2009-December/msg00052.html</a><br>
<br></div>Danté Ashton who started this particular discussion has an issue with:<br> "...the user, [having] to perform three extra clicks just to do what it takes me one to do now?"<br><br>Денис Черемисов was less descriptive in their issue(s) though.<br>
<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Precisely why I took him to task. Back on topic:<br><br>In the old method, it would take me 3 clicks to launch an application:<br>Applications->section->App<br><br>so that is three clicks.<br>
<br>In gnome-shell method, we have:<br><br>* 1 click for common used apps<br>* 2 clicks for any other apps<br><br>I don't consider going to the overview mode as a click. But if you did, it would still be 2 or 3 clicks which is equivalent to the old method.<br>
<br>Initially there was categories for the apps, but was changed to a flat scheme which reduced the number of key clicks.<br><br>sri <br></div></div><br>
