Re: The Apology of GNOME 3 (an analogy to the Apology of Socrates by Plato)

Hello,

Barry, who forced you to update to Fedora 15 ? You can disable automatic  
updates AFAIK.

So many of you complain about not having an option but to move to gnome 3.  
The gnome team is not responsible for that, the maintainers of your  
distrobution are, don't you think? As I said before, there is Mate, the  
Gnome 2 fork, most distros have some kind of a way of switching to it.

Mikus, you say you are dissapointed. I assume that means gnome 3 hasn't  
lived up to your expectations. But what are expectations? One usually  
obtains expectations as an opinion about what the result of an action will  
be, based on his experiences and knowledge. But without one's own actions  
or lack of knowledge of the actions of others, the expectations are  
irrelevant. The result is not dissapointment, but rejectment of the  
reality.
Nothing personal.

It's gnome 3 DOT ZERO, there is enough space to improve things. And that  
doesn't have to mean coding, sending in design concepts (even drawings on  
paper) for UI improvements or flowcharts is something almost everyone can  
do and is a lot more helpful than it would seem.

IMHO, of course ;)
