That's the problem - just who do these developers cater for?
Answer: The mythical beast of the newbie converting from Windows or OS
X. They aren't coming in droves, especially not to Fedora.
No love for the actual user base - skilled/technical users doing
development or administration tasks.
I will stop now and go back to wrangling F25.

I haven't been following the thread, and I haven't used Fedora in a
while, but I (like many others) was once a Linux newbie, and one of the
first Linux
distros I used was RedHat, so I've been there. That was about 13 years
ago or thereabouts. I'm a retired RF engineer, not a computer whiz, altho
I did do some simple coding in BASIC and Pascal a long time ago. But I
am certainly not doing development or admin on Linux--I'm just using the
OS for general computing purposes--word processing, news downloads,
Google maps, numerical conversions (Convertall), general information
(Google),
photo download and manipulation, DXMap, and the occasional relatively
simple drafting operation (DraftSight). I have _almost_ forsaken
Windows; I only
use it for audio recording and OCR, since in my opinion Linux isn't
there yet.

Hi all,
Playing with Fedora 25. I'm shocked to see the terminal is
still hidden away in the utilities group.
I'm pretty sure near 100% of users add Terminal to the
favorites immediately after install.
Surely the #1 use case of Fedora on the desktop IS the terminal?
Cheers,

Perhaps Fedora and other Nuxes are trying hard to be Windows ?:) :)
Now that MS is a member of OSF, and on the board, perhaps Windows
and Linux will merge into a single OS - like ... WinLin, or
LinWin, Winux ?
Argh!!! No mater how you name it, it sounds terrible!
