Release Team Proposes Gnome 3.0 Plans
benuski writes "Today at GUADEC, the Gnome User and Developer European Conference, the gtk+ team announced their plans for gtk+ 3.0; immediately after, the Gnome release team announced their plans for Gnome 2.30 to be changed into Gnome 3.0. This would mean a release date a year and a half to a year in the future. Details are short at the moment, but the Gnome team seems to be following in KDE's footsteps, but hopefully will avoid the problems that plagued KDE 4.0's release."
I can't expect Gnome users getting upset unless they don't have a good working, default desktop.
And, considering the state of Nautilus, I can't expect them getting upset even in that case.
If aaron commit privileges can be revoked it will solve 90% of current kde problems.
I wouldn't bash him if he wasn't a dickhead.

Yeah...they will hurry up and make a gay looking widget hack like KDE 4 became. I installed it yesterday and it SUCKS. Just a rip of Vista, who ripped OS X.
Linux is getting fatter with more useless crap in its quest to become a desktop client of which is a waste. Solaris 10 is even piss poor as a desktop. Windows does it well so let's stop being religious and Linux can stay in the data center.
On top of that you have Aaron Segio now suggesting that users should have less control over configuration, fewer choices, and saying that end users are dumb.
KDE users are dumb, hence why Ubuntu proper uses a GNOME environment.
Yes, it is the the default for the product called KUbuntu Hardy Heron. Version, mind you, 8.04.1 at the moment — not "beta" or "pre-release", not even a x.0, which we've learned to be wary of by now.
And yet, the beta-versions of the much-derided Windows are a lot more stable and feature-complete than this. And it is not even Ubuntu — their only fault is attempting to "turn shit into chicken salad". KDE-4 remains a poor ingredient — it was "released" a year too early, evidently, because even 4.1 (still in beta right now) is not offering the same features, that KDE-3.x has.
Same can be said about all free software — are you suggesting, all criticism of it is "baseless"?
