I still think that people should give the new Gnome shell a go, try and use it for something productive to see how they get on with it. I tried it out briefly and I did like some of the changes and thought there were some good ideas in it.<div>
<br></div><div>I do like the new ideas (Innovation is good even if the new ideas aren't immediately beneficial). It's worth trying it out just to see what parts of it ARE good/interesting as with anything technical, understanding something that you ultimately decide to be a bad way of working is still getting a good understanding of what (in your opinion) is a bad way of working and why it isn't appropriate to your future projects. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I gave it a try, it is very different especially in comparison to those people who are evilwm users. Some things of it I liked, the only feature that put me off was a privacy issue of tiling the windows to select which one to switch to. While this is very useful, not always good when working on something and your significant other comes over and asks you to look something up and you have just minimised the window containing their birthday present. <br>

Yup, as usual they'll clean it up, make it grey and use it as the basis for the next OSX, probably 10.7 DSH (Domestic Short Hair)<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
