Now, if you didn't hear about, they want to remove close buttons from applications.
They force on you to suspend your system on lid close,
They decide that you don't need toolbar applets, like cpu monitor.
I still use gnome, but my patience is almost broken.
Yesterday, for example I installed ADW home screen for my android phone, and boy did I have fun with it, because it has so many settings.
(Note that by default, it was quite sucky, but with customization, it became just perfect).
Android just follows Gnome policy of 'No settings, we know whats good for you', thus I am giving that example.
I am really tired of lack of settings in Gnome, because that myth that it confuses novices is just a joke.
Novices can just not change the defaults, and devs are free to set defaults as they wish, and thus we get a gnome equivalent, but one that fits everybody, not just a bunch of devs that think that they know everything.
So, next update, I am switching to KDE, I have had enough.
