GNOME To Start Using Codenames

Posted by timothy on from the not-very-hush-hush-of-you-to-point-out dept.

prisoninmate writes: A discussion between GNOME developers and users during the annual GUADEC conference lead to potential code names for the desktop environment, starting with the upcoming September release, GNOME 3.18, which might be dubbed Gothenburg. They decided to codename the September releases after the city where the GUADEC conference took place, as explained above, and the March releases after the city where the GNOME.Asia Summit will take place.

    I personally prefer the new gedit. It has the same functionality as before, they just moved some things around. The content of the menu bar is now under the menu button, and they removed the toolbar which just duplicated a lot of functionality. Do you really need dedicated buttons for cut, copy and paste that takes up a lot of screen space? Most people will use the keyboard shortcuts for those things. This is just complaining for the sake of complaining.
