Why Users Blame Spatial Nautilus

An anonymous reader writes "OSNews has a commentary on spatial Gnome and why you KDE/Windows people hate them so much (hint: because almost all of you use Windows and/or a Windows 'interface clone'). Steve Jobs, however, denounced spatial interfaces because they make the users janitors. Hmmm!"

In other news, god uses three-space tabs.

I'm sorry but the newspaper analogy sucked donkey balls. I mean, my web browser doesn't turn my hands black either.

GNOME devs - Lay off the Kool-Aid and switch back to something with caffeine!

Thank you for sharing what you think you feel about spinach. In a short while you will be contacted by a local reprentative to advise you why you are wrong and tell you how you will think about spinach in the future.

Thank you,

"Abused Tabs"

[xrayspx]

I had no idea that I was abusing the privilege of tabbed browsing by using it to keep as few browser windows open as possible. I need to rethink my entire browsing paradigm. This guy makes too many good points, I've been browsing all wrong all these years, what could I have been thinking? Thank you Random Polish Guy, thank you for explaining why one shouldn't abuse tabs by having two separate sites open at the same time.

The article was considsending. The Gnome group seems to think they're smarter than me, and that if their system doesn't work with me, then I should look elsewhere, and so I have.

What an outrage? Why would they ever think they're smarter than you? Considsending indeed!

Here, let's test it.

Anybody who hates the GPL/BSD/etc License, is just wrong! You should like it!

Re:Spatial for shallow, Browser for deep.

Perhaps the "smart" behavior could be created by using a distributed bayesian filter against the contents of a file.

If you read this line quickly, it sounds like something Geordi or Data would throw out to fix the computer overload that is preventing the Enterprise from escaping Some Devastating Explosion.

Re:Huh?

I like Gnome; I want it to be successful; I HAVE contributed to the project in numerous ways

You think that contributing to Gnome proves you like it? I spent probably 20-30 hours of the last week coding one of it's libraries and I still detest it :)

How many Polish sysadmins does it take to change all the lightbulbs in a hotel?

Two. One to install a single HUGE lightbulb in the center, and another to tell the management that it would be a lot brighter if they had a more "shallow" structure of rooms.
