Actually I loved kde2 and hated gnome1, but my affections started shifting |
28 |
when kde3 and gnome2 stabilized. |
29 |
|
30 |
A month or two ago I thought gnome3 had stabilized enough that I updated |
31 |
my everyday gnome2 work machine to ~x86, which includes a mostly-gnome3 |
32 |
environment. |
33 |
|
34 |
Last week I decided to regress to x86/gnome2 because there are just a few |
35 |
things that almost-but-not-quite work in gnome3, and I just can't/won't |
36 |
function without them. |
37 |
|
38 |
Something as trivial as double-clicking on a date in the gnome calendar |
39 |
applet no longer opens the calendar function of evolution. What a dumb |
40 |
fscking stupid regression for a major DE to tolerate when it would be so |
41 |
simple to make it work like it already does in gnome2. I really think |
42 |
I could probably hack together a patch by myself, the code is so simple, |
43 |
but I can't see any good reason to waste my time on it. |
44 |
|
45 |
Likewise for debugging the kdepim mess when it was already working well |
46 |
in the old kde. What ARE they thinking? Reminds me of our US Congress, |
47 |
all advertising and no product. |
