"radical reconceptualization of the GUI"? It was working fine thanks! What was wrong with holding off on the gnome 3 update entirely until Unity became at least functional?
Gnome 3 Shell isn't even that bad.. I know it has it's haters too. (It works well enough for me.) At least it has the capability to function _now_ as a usable shell. Unity plain and simply is unusable in it's current state and should never have been released as default. Anybody who tries Ubuntu for the first time in the next 6 months is going to think it's a joke, throw the disc in the bin, and boot back up to BillyG's cruddy and equally disturbing but comfortable operating system. They _wont_ be inclined to try ubuntu, and perhaps Linux, ever again. First impressions count. What's needed here is some decent Quality Assurance protocols, and holding back a new release until these are met. Sticking religiously to 6 monthly release cycles whether or not the product is actually ready is not the best approach the best distribution should make. There is no shame in going "back to the drawing board". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/648180 Title: Unity is not an adequate replacement for Gnome2 (and sucks a little bit less then it used to) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
