I posted reasons for why I reject Activities on the 14th of June last year (as I saw now, in an HTML-formatted email, for which I apologize). Activities work badly in a very clear and unavoidable way: they only make sense with Activities-aware programs. My browser of choice is not part of KDE (is there a Plasma web browser currently?), nor is my editor. They won't abide by whatever rules Activities will want to impose on them. On the other hand, VDs worked with anything that was inside a window. They worked even with Emacs. They also worked with KNotes, which, though that was (also dead now?) part of KDE, had its notes placed in non-standard windows. And what is the gain with Activities? Filtering email boxes that belong to the current activity? Mmmmkey, not for me, but maybe for some people... Filtering files and folders? Nice, but I did that with configured widgets per Virtual Desktop together with tags. Tags: that is a feature worth focusing on, rather than Activities. I have been waiting so long for a simple and nice way to tag files and folders... Instead, I got Nepomuk, the semantic desktop concept (hated it, with files indexer killing my CPU for no added value). That thing is gone, is it not? So, Activities is a client lock-up kind of move much like those we (should) hate in, precisely, Microsoft or Apple. I guess you are thinking that I am sooo conservative (I stick with Emacs, right?). Well, I try to use the best things I find. I don't use Emacs to program, but it is still the best thing for me for a bunch of uses. I rejected the "semantic desktop" because I don't need a googlesque searcher in my own PC, as if it was the outer cyber-space, because the contents of my disk are my own, up to me to keep then and organized by me, so I never thought it was a great idea. But there is also the point of having your work-flows, specially if there was a learning (and/or configuring) curve to climb, and it hurts having to re-learn with each new release. I know that people do that all the time with M$ Office, but most of them never get to learn sh!t of how to use it well anyway. -- Juan -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
