All decisions so far regarding Ubuntu's design and Unity have been
made by large groups of people, and every decision has been influenced
a lot by user testing and feedback. And yes, we've been listening to
our users. Every. Feedback. Counts. As Michael said, we ourselves are
users too.

We'd also be considering your opinions if they were constructive. Just
saying "OMG UNITY SUX IM MOVING TO <Insert a DE or distro here>.
PLEASE FIX UNITY" isn't going to help either side. We tend to ignore
such threads because of their vagueness.

Why,I did not choose Unity?I am a developer too.Desktop software design principle*(Maybe you know) *, for end users, they hope every software has similar appearance, .aka. UX..... Similar menu layout,keyshortcuts,status bar,notification area.....especially,settings panel.

Why not improve GNOME if you think it sucks?(OK..,why not improve Unity if I think it sucks...because I won't waste time on it,I think Unity have no significant for end users.They want bug fixes and *new useful features & softwares adding eagerly , not another desktop env.)

BTW:You can *image, while user works,he open a new window,...desktop *disappears.
In spare time ,I want to *develop some useful tiny programs which other platform provided but ubuntu lack of.(Wine? never *be a solution.You must know it.Forget Wine.Develop your own linux desktop software.)

But when I see Unity,I am confused. Did I need test my program on Unity? These desktop env have different API &UX. Programs can't do a good seamless*integration with desktop env(also file managers such as*Nautilus . Konqueror).

Hn...Ha... Why not *GNOME X.X?*Great Unification.

I am tired.

You can't tell by all the backlash against Unity, at the least.




Those who REALLY like it (yours truly included) don't feel the urge to start 12567 threads about how much they like it over vanilla Gnome or Window Maker (I absolutely LOVE bot Unity and WM - again, different tools for different purpouses)

In fact, I also merely use Vim/Emacs/Terminal developping in most time.These suggestions for Ubuntu desktop's development.Pitifully,so far, linux desktop users, geek & tech & programmer are the majority.

Maybe ...*Linux desktop market share still never *greater than 10% , *in the future.

No. I'm not touching KDE with a 4-foot pole (sorry, KDE folks, you are doing a great job, but I'm just not a KDE guy .

I also find GNOME2 "neither fish nor flesh" these days.

I run Oneiric+Unity on my "everyday" laptop (making it, among other advantages, girlfriend-compliant and either Slackware+FVWM or Debian+WindowMaker on my decrepit laptop and/or on my EEEPC, when I need a distractions-free envinronment to run an Emacs session and maybe pine on an otherwise sluggish machine.

Debian is also my server OS of choice, Gentoo is for playing around *

Makes perfect sense to me.

oh....different tools for different purposes*


Do you seriously think that I should attempt to run Unity on a S3 Virge and/or I should slap FVWM on my girlfriend's uber-specced MBP and teach her how to edit .fvwmrc?


Maybe,because linux desktop developers only have been *listening to those users who already are using linux and like it.*Maybe...


Oh, come one, Unity is a definite step in the opposite direction.
Everybody knows that real developers don't even use a DE, they do everything within an emacs session :P
(See also:*http://xkcd.com/378/)


But enough about me - seriously, if you don't like Ubuntu, why not just use Debian?
It basically IS Ubuntu minus the bits you don't like.
