My 2 cents worth:-
1. From a purely productive point of view, having the minimize, maximize
and close buttons near the menus saves having to move the mouse pointer
to the opposite side of the screen under certain circumstances.
Personally I would rather waste untold seconds of my life enjoying a
good book or a nice wine than moving my mouse pointer unnecessarily.
2. I totally agree with the view that this isn't and shouldn't be a
democracy. Coming from a Gentoo background, when Daniel Robbins left
(along with autocracy), and the "council" came into existence (the
beginning of democracy/meritocracy), seemed to be the start of some
problems with Gentoo.
Basically when everything has to be decided by committee/consensus view
it a) slows the decision making process down a lot and b) some pretty
silly decisions get made in the interests of trying to keep everyone
happy.
Personally I would rather have things move forward and improve quickly
at the expense of a minority of decisions I don't agree with. The crux
may come when a lot of decisions aren't agreed with by a lot of people
and then the distribution becomes crap. We aren't there yet and as long
as Mark Shuttleworth and others in the upper echelons remain
conscientious it probably won't happen.
