Re: All GNOME Shell Developers.

Haven't you realized yet that is entirely bad idea about the current gnome-shell? It both sucks to people who doesn't use workspace before (they won't use them in this stuff), and for people who used it (they need _fixed_ workspace combination, not dynamic one). Guys, you better drop this idiotic approach and try to make something useful instead of this ugly slow overlayish horror. I always feel only regressions in usability when I'm trying it: grouped alt+tab sucks, the lack of taskbar, always need to enter ugly overlay to launch something.

Are you seriously suggesting that the user has to always use keyboard
and then launch apps to make use of the shell better ?

The shell design is more keyboard friendly.. and thought seems to be
going only with making keyboard use better.
Which is good .

But saying that the user needs to use the keyboard to do an action
quicker is not very ideal.

Both the keyboard-only and mouse-only users have to be able to do the
same action in the easiest/quickest possible way. And forcing either
user to change their behavior because the keyboard/mouse offers a
quicker alternative isnt very ideal.

IMO , categories were much more easier than scrolling through the whole
list of apps.

Also , we need to find an easier way to trigger the Alt+Tab behavior
with a mouse , it is more essential now as we have removed the taskbar.
And Zooming out for a simple app switch [within the same desktop] feels
a highly distracting .
Maybe from right-clicking application menu? [the menu that is to be
displayed from the app name]
