Yes. And the reason is CONTINUITY. When the window is maximized the controls on the right would interfere with the indicators. To have to controls bounce from right to left and left to right is bad design...bouncing controls hither and yon smacks of another OS's experiment with UI change. > > Does the new Unity still fail to distinguish between a Firefox icon > and a (very different) Tor Browser Bundle Firefox icon? Might. But that more has to to do with the packaging of Tor. But of course you could always make a custom shortcut, .desktop file. > > Does the new Unity still lack the simplest concepts, such as cascaded > menus? Yes, because it is contrary to the design. It is like saying does that boat still lack wheels? Both UI paradigms get you from point A to point B but just with a different approach to get there. If you MUST have menus then Unity is not your desktop. Luckily you are not stuck with it, you have a choice. > > Does the user still need to constantly click numerous times on the > icons just to find the "right" opened window when multiple windows > of the same application are open at the same time? Numerous times? No. You click ONCE and the multiple windows EXPOSÉ layout. Pick the one you want. > > Did the new Unity introduce *new* annoyances? > "*new* annoyances" That very subjective. Personally I have found workflow considerably more efficient with Unity than GNOME2 menu-oriented UI. But 1) you DO have to change how you work, 2) learn the interface (BTW) you had to that with GNOME2). Ever see someone type like a typewriter with a word-processor? Is the typewriter more efficient? Well if one insists on multiple spaces and hard carriage returns at the 72nd character then the advantages of word-processor will not be apparent. So if you are a typewriter-type of guy then stick with Xubuntu to Lubuntu. You have options. > > NOTE: Alt.hacker xpost removed. > Good pickup, I missed that.
