[ale] ranting about new Ubuntu UI

[James Taylor]

Whether or not you consider this a valid point, why destroy productivity for your current user base?
An option to use a familiar interface, with the opportunity to sample the new paradigm at one's convenience would go a long way toward driving tolerance, if not acceptance.

I know that Ubuntu is
heavily invested in making computers for the humans who have not yet
had the opportunity to use computers. I would bet that UX studies show
that people do not complain unless they already know to expect the
menu bars for every open window to be visible at the same time
regardless of the fact that you only the menu bar for the foreground
app. I know for a fact that people who are new to computers don't know
that scrollbars scroll content until they are taught. Why teach them
_that_? Why not teach them to use a UI that is uncluttered?
