But that's just it, you goon. You don't *have* to spend your time doing that just because the option is there. You do not need to remove the option to change it just because you happen to like the default way it is set up. You can just, you know, not waste a lot of time changing it. It would be exactly the same for you, but give people who cared about changing it the option should they need it.
It is exactly the thinking in your statement that is wrong with not only the Gnome problem but 2/3 of the planet.
I'm a power user and I really don't have a problem with GNOME. It's simple, straightforward, minimalist and stays the hell out of the way while I do stuff. After all, it is "stuff" that I use the computer for, not to fuck around configuring the desktop.
Does anyone else see that as sort of a contradiction? If all you use your computer for is "stuff" and the configuration doesn't matter at all, why not just use a default install of something semi-broken like Fedora Core and just leave everything as it is... if it doesn't work, oh well, it's just stuff.
I always thought the very definition of "power user" was, by default, someone who is more interested in making the machine do what they want through configuration, rather than a "user" who simply tries to work around the problems ("it stays out of the way while I do stuff"... stuff like loading up a terminal to do menial things since you can't accomplish the task using the default UI?) or ignore them...
I mean, come on people... it doesn't matter what or how much you do, if you can't make it do what you want when you want you are always just running in circles chasing the same ball through the hoops and wondering why it takes so long. Yes, you *can* work around it, yes, you can pretend it doesn't matter...
But honestly, if that's the approach you are going to take, why not just go with Windowmaker or XFCE and get it over with... if you want something to "get out of the way" and stay "minimalist" why use bloated things with artificially limited options?
