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!"

    Sorry, but this wasn't off-topic. Steve Jobs made a snipe at the expense of Janitors (READ THE ARTICLE SUMMARY), and his company has received labor complaints from groups representing Janitors

    This is perfectly on-topic. Steve Job's low opinion of Janitors is reflected in his comments.
