Eye candy isn't the end all and be-all. Remember, 80% of users only use 20% of the features. Way too much effort is wasted to try to please that other 20% tho. I could care less about wobbly windows, and rotating desktops, and all that other bling.
I'm going off-topic on this reply. I'm sorry, but I feel it has to be said. I respect your choice to not use Compiz, but not the words you've stated. Compiz is actually a very valuable tool for people with disabilities and extends the functionality of their desktop. Labeling Compiz as simply bling and eye-candy is an affront to the continuous hard work of the Compiz developers, and diminishes the 20% who don't fit into your 80% scope of definition of a user and is anathema to the concept of community as a whole. Going back on topic, I would really urge you to eliminate throwing out numbers and percentages to state your arguments and instead focus on pointing out what works for you and what doesn't. Those that are providing specifics in this thread seem to gain better traction in getting their point across, rather than those who are simply hiding behind numbers clearly without even knowing who the users are in those numbers. Walk a mile (or kilometer, depending on where you live) in their shoes before you marginalize anyone... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
