I know that many of the friends who read us daily adore Gnome Shell. I have even seen in several comments as your opinion on Gnome 2, or the appearance of it, can be summed up in a single word: Obsolete.
I respect their opinions as if they were my own. Everyone uses what they want and accommodates it, but in this case, we are no longer talking about a desktop interface, but about sacrificing accessibility or usability options when working on our PC, in favor of other devices. And you may be wondering right now what is this guy talking about? Well, the answer to that can be found at this link.
It turns out that now the developers of Gnome they are going to take away (or they already took him away) some options to Nautilus that thousands or millions of people use. We are talking, for example, about the following options:
The compact folder and file view.
The tree view will be replaced by the list view.
The extra panel (by pressing F3), they say it is obsolete therefore it goes away.
And all these changes come to Gnome 3.6 simply due to the fact that when used in a tactile way, they do not work as they should. And I wonder:
- Where did the PC user stay?
- Is the number of users who use Gnome on mobile or touch devices?
- It will happen Gnome in the future to be a Desktop Environment focused only on this technology?
- Perhaps Gnome have you counted on the opinion of your users to do this?
Since it came out Gnome Shell I knew that things were not going to turn out well with this Desktop and conventional computers and I was not wrong. The results are already being seen.
However, if you are a user of Gnome and you want to keep using these options in Nautilus Guess who's coming to the rescue? Well Ikey doherty with SolusOS, who is already working on correcting this gaffe.
