Observation: The font situation in Linux has improved much over the years. However, after working in MacOS, the typography here makes my eyes bleed. If I were still solely Linux, I'd be pleased but now? Ugh.
@skematica
My reasons are kind of selfish. There are a couple of people over there who are going to just walk away when the ship goes down and they're really great people. I'd love to see them migrate over here.

Done exploring the reasons I hate Unity.
It's simply bad interface design. They took the pro of simplicity and made a con of it. It's deserves marquee billing in the "We know best" hall of shame.
Now in MATE.
@matigo Other than applying pressure to those left there to come over here, not really. That's my take on it anyway.
Rather than watch the debate, I am going to continue my debate with Ubuntu.
See, when I loathe something. I obsess over why. Really, anything I disagree with I at least want to understand it. Nine times out of ten, I leave the experience at least respecting something - If grudgingly.
For instance, I like most people find racism appalling. Had a neighbor who was the Grand Dragon of the Dixie Knights. He was agreeable enough and I didn't quite get WHY he was a Grand Dragon. Long story short, I attended a rally. Was in full garb and carrying a AR-15. They had some goofy-assed name for what I was but it was, essentially, bodyguard. Was filmed by a TV news crew during this rally. Fervently hoped no-one would recognize my shoes. That's a future blog post if there ever was one. One of the only times I have left a situation like that with even more distaste than when I had entered.
Anyway…
The situation with Ubuntu is nowhere near that extreme but there's nearly eight years of bad blood between us. I want to know why.
@kdfrawg Oh, and a very young Suzanne Summers behind the wheel of one in American Graffitti

@skematica The Dino De Laurentiis version of Dune was a facepalm affair. The actors were fine, they just slaughtered the story. The SciFi channel version with William Hurt was excellent.

@kdfrawg 'Thunderbird' either puts me in mind of umpteen million emails I do not want to read or horrid hang-overs. It'd be hard for me to pick that book up . :D

@kdfrawg I was crushed when he passed away this year. Fate never takes one of the horrid Internet fanfic authors. He and Harper Lee. Same day. Not right.

@hybotics It's dense. Once you get used to his cadence and realize he's actually going somewhere, it's a great series.
