And that type of UI and DE philosophy and the attitude “my way or highway” you have made everybody love the Ubuntu’s Unity or the Gnome 3 and switch from Xfce or LXDE.

The only people complaining about things like this seem to be self-professed “Power Users”.

What “Power User” translate to here is “too dumb to send a patch or understand the issue and too full of themselves to acknowledge it”. So instead they just whine and bitch and spend hours talking about nebulous shit like “Unix Philosophy”. Meanwhile, regular users welcome the simplicity and developers welcome the lesser maintenance burden.

Power Users are a small and impossible-to-satisfy minority. The ones who eventually get a clue become developers and actually do the work instead of just complaining about it.

My problem with the new disk-utility is, same as with Unity and lot of new software development, less functionality for “better” looks.
There is no start/stop array button. Have to dig trough to get any useful info etc. What would be possible reason to remove all useful info from the window?!

Hello!
Thank you for clarifying the reason about not releasing. Buggy had the meaning that is on early stages (as every other Gnome module) and many things are unfinished. Sorry for that, I corrected it!

Thanks for the coverage. The reason there hasn’t been a release is because of the tight coupling between the gnome-disk-utility and udisks packages – I’ll do some releases soon. As for your comment “it is still very buggy”, my view is that you don’t get to say that without filing bugs :-) … FWIW, as of today, gnome-disk-utility is down to eight (8) open bugs in Bugzilla.
