--- Comment #10 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> --- I agree that the frequency with which people customize their setups to use an IOTM is not a useful metric. We could use that same data for example to propose a return to the traditional task manager if we did ship an IOTM by default. However, I think the question is easier to answer than all that. The fact that the two largest and most commonly-used commercial operating systems have shipped an IOTM equivalent by default for more than a decade is a pretty good indicator that it's not a fatal flaw at least. Popularity doesn't necessarily indicate quality, but it usually does indicate the lack of its inverse. Microsoft and Apple have basically done our user acceptance testing for us. Also, every smartphone uses some kind of IOTM for its launcher. So the result are already in: it's just fine. We know it's not bad. "This proposed alternative is known not to be bad" is a minimum standard of course, and not what we would want to base the whole decision on. :) But I think it's a useful starting point for the discussion: we already know that the sky wouldn't fall if we shipped an IOTM by default. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
