Hi, I want to express my frustration with the way you people at Canonical work out your releases. Things that have been working perfectly with previous releases, get completely ****ed up with the next "improved" one. I "upgraded" to 9.10 RC (cleanly by re-formating) and it breaks in so many ways! The worst thing is that this phenomenon is not an exception rather a pattern!
Have you tried the default 9.10 desktop on a standard 15" 1280x800 screen?
Have you noticed that that ****ty micro-bloging widget does not fit in vertically? Tried moving it around and see the strange layout effect it has on the folder view?
Have you noticed the strange layout the digital clock has? Tried changing some of its settings and see the difference?
Have you tried to change the desktop settings arbitrarily and see that half of the time something will crash or just fail to apply?
Have you tried to simply create desktop links!!!
Have you tried to drag n drop from the menu to the folder view!!
Have you tried setting the default desktop to folder-view with the oxygen theme? Did you notice that the icon fonts and colors chose to stick with the air theme instead after a restart?
Have you ever used the zoom-out functionality Have you noticed that it totally blows? Have you also noticed that the majority of the available widgets are semi-working useless crap, many of which also redundant ? Do you care about QUALITY? - Ok these are not new but anyway, if something doesn't work reliably just remove/disable it.
Do you ever exercise any usability tests? with normal people?
These are just some minor "papercuts" that can be observed withing 10 minutes and completely destroy the user experience! Then there are the more serious bugs for me. Like Eclipse not responding to button clicks on several dialogs and other bugs that I feel tired to mention. The whole thing feels simply amateurish. Certainly it does not feel solid.
Finally I am curious why does that happen? Do you start each new version from scratch by throwing out all the previous working code base? Do you control what goes in your packages? Do you review the code? Do you perform any serious testing with it?
