Re: [Usability] GNOME need a big usability update

I am pretty sure most people consider you as troll but if it has
anymeaning I think I understand what you are trying to say.

Gnome has good application base which is mainly the reason companies
use it as their desktop but its has been reduced to minimal in gui
side. It's so minimal that it harms the way we users work with.

KDE offers lots of more options and possibilities regarding usability.
KDE also works somewhat better than Gnome which has Nautilus. I have
already had to reported seven Nautilus crashes thought gnome bug
report software this week. Next week was little better only four
crashes.

While I have managed to crash konqueror only twice in whole last month.

Gnome needs a lots of cleaning and bug killing in code side. I'd help
you if I'v had better skills to code and understand gnome sources.

First thing I would do is to check out latest stable gnome and gtk+
sources and rename whole project and start making heavy changes in gui
and usability side.

yeah, I am troll. Gnome is in use here mostly only because of it's
applications. Rest of time I use kde.

If you have noticed in www.gnome-look.org there is a pretty good
mockup for gnome called "gentleman", it introduces some changes I
think are absolutely most need for gnome immidiedly.
