Are you a Gnome developper and what is your implication in the project?

Because, if you are not, I feel it is useless to continue this conversation with you or try to convince you.

You pretend to ignore my points because it is not your taste.
I would worry if you are somehow behind the gnome-shell design, but I don't care if you are a random user.

The conversation on reddit was much more constructive and technically savy.

Also, I think I will make a video to illustrate how broken the workflow is, without loosing time anymore with 
fanboys.
