For me, using a laptop, I personally enjoy the combination of the global
menu and the title bar in the same spot, i.e., the panel. I do tend to
keep things maximized, and I do use (currently) 16 workspaces and the

whether to place the BFB on the right or left (or top or bottom, in a

This would be my preference as well. The black Dash just makes way more
sense to me. It seems these days Canonical is focusing on ~nothing but~

I'm not crazy about the idea of separating Wine apps into their own

of the ~type~ of app, rather than have to select different types of

Just a gentle reminder, saving space in the menu bar is not an issue for
those of us with bigger screens. The more indicators, the better, for my
use case. So hopefully removal of them will be optional per user.

I tend to give every app its own workspace (I generally use a 3x3 or 4x4

It would interesting to see if these startup apps could launch, and

Maybe we need a file manager based on Emacs!
