Well, again, I come back to: if it works for you, great! And I am in no
way claiming you are wrong, because of that.
I respect the fact that you find Unity's way of working suits you - but
don't I deserve the same respect with regard to finding Unity doesn't
suit me?
I admit, I am prone to snap decisions about these things: it's not a
question of "I can use this" or "I can't use this", but more "this feels
right" or "this feels wrong" - which is much more ethereal, harder to
define. But if something "feels" right from early on, I will put the
effort into learning to use it to fully satisfy my needs. If it feels
wrong, I probably won't put that effort in unless I really have to.
Maybe I'll ditch the desktop experience, and GUI and go find me a nice
vt100 terminal to work at.......
Chris
