Alt+Tab for window switching is definately better than anything else out there. It groups similar windows yet make it clear which window is on what workspace. Very nice. Most other implementations are far too busy. Right-clicking an application icon brings up all the currently running instances of that application, which further adds to the ease of finding the right window. I like the dynamics of workspaces, in that you open new ones as you need them. > 2) How do you find the gnome shell more productive than then classic Gnome DE?

If you mean window and application management, I have to confess that I find workspaces on KDE a bit borked. I have never understood them. In Gnome Shell they come very naturally. Also, while I like KWin for the most part, I do not like most of the compositing effects, especially not those available for window switching, which I think, again, are better in Gnome Shell. Moreover, the application menu in KDE is an abomination (but then I am one of those guys who love key-bindings for application launching) and I almost never have the patience to locate some obscure application in it. Being application-centric, I think the "Activities" organization is much more promising than the classic divide between a launcher menu and a panel indicating running windows. That said, I do not think Gnome Shell is Heaven on Earth (yet), but I found that I got used to it very quickly and miss it on most other desktops. /Andreas > On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 7:36 PM, Adam Tauno Williams > <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Tue, 2010-11-23 at 06:47 +0530, dE . wrote: >>> So I ran a poll on this in various communities - >>> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-853679.html >>> http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=57638&start=0 >>> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1628158 >> >> Seems to me the first comment on the Ubuntu forum hits the nail on the >> head: >> >> <quote> >> Something must be wrong with me.
