[lugm.org] Linus Torvalds finds GNOME 3.4 to be a "total user experience design failure"

[Arvind Doobary]

My reason of moving from KDE4 to Gnome was exactly the same, resource hog :P
I'm not going back to KDE, yet. XFCE is not mature enough for my usage 
and I'm thinking of trying both MATE and Cinnamon sometime soon when I 
get time to update my distro.
If Cinammon does what I want it to do, then I wouldn't mind the 
ocassional bug, since it's quite new and is very actively developed this 
is to be expected.
I'd had gripes with GDM3 also, and it was already a sign that the folks 
at Gnome were getting goofy.

Cheers,
Arvind
