Re: We want task bar back. Pretty please.

Denys,

If you talk to any group of people (grouped by a practice or philosophy)  and say what their practice is unacceptable.  Prepare to be treated in a way that is unacceptable.  

Your language came in a way that was insulting, so people respond accordingly. If this is your only machine and you needed to get a lot of work done, I would say that you should have known better to upgrade to a distribution known for being near bleeding edge that just incorporated a bleeding edge version of user interface. 

People have exhausted these subjects.  People are listening to the ideas that have been put out, and in later versions some things will be addressed.  I think the taskbar is going to stay out of core.  

I for one when using a taskbar and workspaces together, hate how when you click on things your workspaces jump around.  I'd much rather not have another bar anywhere when it is redundant.  You can auto hide it, but in my opinion other launchers behave better and are more aesthetically pleasing than a task bar.  

I think it would be beneficial for you to try one of the docks.

Trying.
Alt-F1, click -> Expose closes, app #1 launches.
Need to open Expose again, so:
Alt-F1, click -> Expose closes, app #2 launches.
Alt-F1, click -> Expose closes, app #3 launches.
Alt-F1, click -> Expose closes, app #4 launches.

This is still much slower than click-click-click-click in Gnome 2.
