Unity vs XFCE
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, February 07 2013 @ 09:09 AM EST
Lack of bling?

I dunno, it seems like actually being productive is going out of fashion or
something.

Unity vs XFCE
Authored by: Wol on Thursday, February 07 2013 @ 04:13 PM EST
Because (a) people don't like change, and (b) different people like different
things.

You've seen my posts about WordPerfect? Then you'll know I'm fanatical in my
praise of it! (Less so the more recent versions :-(

But the point is, the designers of WordPerfect thought the same way as I do. It
*really* *was* intuitive to me. When I started using it, I was used to several
other wp packages, and as I said, people don't like change. Yet WordPerfect just
blew those other programs away.

If a program just doesn't think the way you do, it will be hard work to learn.
I'm an old-fashioned nix-type guy - I like text, I am NOT a visual person, I do
NOT like guis. So any program that is visual/gui in design will drive me away. I
can't stand Gnome. KDE was the first DE I really used, and - despite what people
say - I don't feel (as a user) that it's changed that much. I've got LXDE and
Xfce4 on my system, which I don't like because they're different. But they're
not bad because they do keep out of my way most of the time. But every time I've
tried Gnome, it's been a nightmare.

Cheers,
Wol
