Re: [Trisquel-users] [POLL] What is your preferred desktop environment of Trisquel 8 ?

I have actually decided that GNOME Shell with GNOME-classic  should be the  
default.
I have tried GNOME-panel a lot, and it is quite underwhelming. The  
application menus don't show all the applications; things like the Tweak Tool  
and Synaptic don't show up, and the settings are weird. It doesn't offer much  
advantage over Xfce.
GNOME Shell is really easy to use. It looks great on most computers and it is  
designed with new computer users in mind. I know it got a backlash from the  
people who liked GNOME 2, and to be fair it was kind of crap when it was  
first released, but it has really improved. It is so easy a child can use it.
