First thing, Linus did nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong with him speaking things out straight. It's simply because that people don't like to hear those critisms. Some say Linus shouldn't mess around with others' projects. Man, this is how Open Source evolves! As long as his arguments sound, we should listen to him. And what Linus' patches fixed DID improve usability. Why don't Gnome people stop worrying about usability issues in their own way but let the users judge what they really want.
Second of all, it seemed like this discussion had turned into a report of self mental illness in the first dozens of replies. lol
