I don't find it friendly. I have been with computers for at least 30 years,
and I have seen a lot. I find that I have to learn again, and I don't find
it intuitive. I do it simply because /they/ have choosen a new way for us,
so I have to follow it or migrate. Thus I'll try to get used to G3, like it
or not.
I don't find that having to click on the top left, then another click to
choose "applications" then to the top right to click on a category (on a
touchpad, which means lifting my finger at least twice because once does
not traverse the entire screen), and then reading a big list with small
letters, left to right and top to bottom, to be ergonomic (and page-up/dn
do not work).
I do not find that easier than simply browsing a menu, an action to which I
have been accustomed for uncountable years, on several operating systems,
and which my fingers do fast with that lot of practice. Menus that are
browsable with the keyboard as well. A time proved design!
And yes, I also focus on running apps, not on the desktop. Or I did.
I'm used to have a command line applet on which I type the name of the
apps, or choose a previous entry. I can not add that applet, I don't know
how to add applets to the panel.
I also like an applet with the hour and the temperature, of several cities.
Now I can't.
I have two apps running now, one a terminal and another yelp. The terminal
is not listed in the bar. That is also confusing.
I have only two workspaces, and I have not seen yet how to add more (I work
with 12 in this machine running G2).
No, G3 distracts me from what I have to do and forces me to learn new Gnome
desktop tricks I took for granted since 1997. It is a not welcomed extra work.
So, no, I will not say "stupid" in public, even if I think it is. I know
that voicing my opinion is pointless, because it has already been decided
that this is the way to go. A decision on which users have no voice.
So no, I will not say to those that rant in public that they should not.
Because it is pointless. Even if I agree with some of the points, and
disagree on the tone.
