Public bug reported:
Gnome is a big step backward for Ubuntu, there are several usability
flaws in the main user concept of Gnome in comparison with Unity.
- There is no real pixel-saving in Gnome (i.e. oversized window-titlebars,
missing globalmenu support, no integration of the window-titelbar in the
menu-panel, etc...)
- The app menus are not consistent, there are some menu-entries in the
"main-menu"(in gnome panel) and some entries are in the "Hamburger" menu in the
app window and for some apps, like evince, there is a second "Hamburger" menu
(one with points, one with lines) for file-specific options. This can't be a
feature, it is definitely a bug!
- The file manager Nautilus is a mess and nearly unusable since most of the
options(!) are stripped from the settings! This can't be a feature but is
definitely a bug! (remember: Linux is always the freedom of choice - even in
the settings of an app. And why stripping existing and working options?)
i don't know the real reason why Marc abandoned Unity as the standard DE
in Ubuntu but in my opinion it is the biggest mistake he ever made
except abandoning the Ubuntu phone.
i know that this report will marked as "opinion" and no one ever hear the
voices of the people that still see the real potential in Unity and the design
flaws of Gnome!
And i know that i am not alone!
Perhaps there could be a way to reUnite the Gnome project with the strengths of
the Unity project for the sake of a big and bright future for both as a
synthesis!?
In my opinion Synthesis is the way of the new age, of the future, and everyone
who works against each other will fall behind...
please remember the strengths of Unity and see that the great success of Ubuntu
definetly has to do with Unity as the standard DE!
What Unity wants is UNIFY and what Gnome does is DISUNITE! (for examples see
the bugs on top of this report!)
