However, we should not forget that there are people who feels same way. So there is some issues. But of course they are not fixable such way.

By the way, by thread, it seems that Linus just plug this as flame. In first moment, I thought someone pretends to be him.

Nah, forget this one.

Do you actually think that you know what is right for everyone? I'm no fan of KDE but some of the choice s the Gnome developers have made in the past have driven me up the wall, especially spatial Nautilus and not having an easy menu editor like WindowMaker has!

1) Removing all functionality leaves nothing
2) The Intersection of all Majorities is
the empty set (or in real life: small at best)

Although I might not agree with his views, I cannot see how anyone could not agree with above two points.

So answer is – there is hard decisions to make and some of these decisions won’t make people happy. So there is a lesson.

I agree with nuno – Linus trolled. It was wrong. I agree with points but the way he did it was unpolite un untypical for him. Just all.

For desktop – just stick with apps witch suits you, god lord :)
