Is it only me, or do the replies of Mr. Paul Thomas in the quoted page seem rather belligerent in their defensiveness? He seems annoyed at having to explain his argument and answer pertinent inquiries. Not very dialectic. His bottom-line defense also seems to be that computers have enough power now to have enough stuff open simultaneously in case something is needed. Well… not here in the third world.

For the record, I use the file managers constantly, for managing files of different types, moving them around as I reclassify their storage status, or whether I may need them as reference for an upcoming project. I also do clean-up of no longer needed files, as storage space is not unlimited in my machines.

Unrelated, but you’re in Japan: did you feel the earthquake? Tsunamis are coming for you and every country near as well.

Well, since Ubuntu 10.04, I fell out with Ubuntu. Problems with the minimise, maximise and close buttons moving, coupled with failures to load, failures to shutdown and just in general failures… well, I’m now Debian all the way!

And as another one said here: http://www.muktware.com/b/10/2011/824/canonical-has-not-killed-ubuntu-netbook-edition
Canonical isnt killing the netbook edition, but the desktop one.

Seems to me there is a rampant malignant infection going on. Suddenly people swoon at the sigh of desktops filled with icons. Ubuntu and Gnome are desperately trying to come up with something that is fresh. In that quest, they figure removing user freedom is the only safe way to ensure their warped visions can stick.
They are charging at he users with a take no prisoner attitude.
I know, they all found a batch of electric kool-aid.
