Many on /. are complaining that GNOME developers are forcing their “view” of the desktop upon them. “Why can’t they put a preference?” and “They’re ignoring advanced users and dumbing things down.” … Now I’m going to say something controversial. So? Tough. OSS is not a democracy. Live with it. … There are a dozen real problems in GNOME and the “Linux Desktop” that need to be fixed. fam sucks, menu editing needs to be redone, coaster needs to get finished, we need zeroconf working throughout the desktop, the lockdown stuff needs to get finished, we desperately need Project Utopia and meanwhile the armchair critics are complaining about window colors. Window colors.
Sing it, brother.
I am an advanced user and i just love the sensible, usable desktop Gnome gives me. I don’t want to think about preferences, I just have work to do.

I abandonned Gnome software much longer ago for lack of preferences for actual advanced features that they’d cut out, so….
Still, I’m happy with God’s Own Window Mangler (FVWM), pterm and moz; so life is good.
There is always a Third Way…
