Linus Torvalds finds GNOME 3.4 to be a "total user experience design failure"

The beauty of a forum of ideas is the "churn". People try different things, see what works.
My first thought was, "Don't mince words, Linus, tell them what you really think."
Such fun.
I was pleased to see that Trinity made it onto the LinuxQuestions results. I guess I'm not the only one pining for KDE3.

No, can't disagree with you.
Gnome 3 is a tackled nest of rubbish. I just find that it gets in the way all the time. It is just so unbelievably annoying.
The absolutely #1 thing a DE should do is not get in the way. So as far as I'm concerned, it fails the primary test.

Linus ranted about KDE 4.x and switched to Gnome 2.x. Now he's ranting about Gnome 3.x. I suppose next he switches to XFCE 4.x and then rants about XFCE 5.x?
Personally I have no issues with Gnome 3.4. It took me all of a day or two to adust to not minmizing windows. It runs great on both my desktop and netbook, and is much more responsive on my netbook than KDE Plasma Netbook.
Of course, to each their own.
I hope Linus finds the DE he likes, and they never update it just for him. :)

Rex,
Maybe Linus would like Trinity, too. :^)

I can use much less memory and fewer CPU cycles running XFCE and I get a whole lot more usable desktop. I can also use MATE and achieve the same result. LXDE is a bit spartan for my tastes but it certainly is lightweight and gets out of my way. KDE is my full featured choice and it still consumes fewer resources than GNOME3, particularly if I disable nepomuk and akonadi. It also is very, very configurable, unlike recent GNOME iterations.
If I rant the rotten tomatoes start flying. If Linus Torvalds rants people listen because of who he is and what he's accomplished. I'm glad he's ranting again.
