When typing a text or when programming I use the keyboard. It is much faster in this case (i.e. no aiming required). When cross-pasting program output f.i. from other windows, high-lighting and middle-clicking is much faster. Unless you click your day away, this is no basis to call GNOME crap for this.

I don't suffer from RSI and I do like double clicks because it gives you a chance to abort an action. When you quickly do very diverse tasks on your computer, it is much easier to make (or about to make) a mistake. If you are doing the same things over and over (and for some reason these can not be scripted), it becomes automatic and you want your actions to be minimal (i.e. single click).

(at least in my case) The way the window manager is configured here does make the interface way different from Windows (i.e. auto-raise on focus, window scaling, virtual desktops, ...) What have basic GUI actions to do with one articular family of implementations? One may like the Windows GUI for its double clicks. But this does not automatically mean the opposite...a common error against logics. > Some of us like to move on to better things. A patronising phrase based on erronous logic, that is... Anyway, one cannot argue about taste. Calling these things better is pointless. It is a matter of preference. Guy Bormann
