Yes it's wrong because it is rude to assume that people have to agree with you if they tried hard enough. It's amazing that this isn't obvious and that's why it comes up again and again. Some people listen, others don't. >> 4) if you don't like something you can always make a hotkey to do it > > +1 Always an excellent suggestion.

Simply - you have an undiscoverable feature - where's the visual reminder? Why not invent the hotkey-ui with no graphics at all? Then your DE won't impinge on anything at all - you can have a totally black screen and a piece of paper next to you with all the hotkeys. By the way that's a joke. Again it's amazing that one has to explain.
