Quite enjoying Gnome 3.2. There are two issues with it.
- It’s a new paradigm and change is always hard.
- The tools haven’t quite caught up to where they need to be so tweaking it to get the behavior you want is not as easy as it will be as it subsequently matures.
I have no doubt it will mature into a usable interface. However, after using it several times (my kids’ computer uses it), I want to pull my hair out every time I use it.
I like the old paradigm. Kudos to Clem at Linux Mint for doing what users actually want.
