I disagree with the premise. It is configurable / tweakable - just by different means than previously [and more flexible means; you don't need to write C!]. The extension system has already been proven to be amazingly powerful and extensions are trivial to deploy [via Firefox! Do that with an applett...]. I think tweakers always overestimate the need to tweak, most users don't and won't and don't want to tweak - they want to "do stuff". For tweakers there is tweak-tool. Aside: I'm puzzled by the passion about application launch methods. Who spends that much time *launching* applications? That is about the first four minutes of my day - then the applications are launched. If I select a document from Nautilus, GAJ, or the Journal extension the appropriate application is started for me. A few keystrokes in a GNOME Terminal gets me a new GNOME Terminal. If a user is closing and launching applications all day then their workflow is borked - they should stop doing that! Just open them and use them.
