This has been addressed various times. In brief: Advanced buttons do not
work. They'll be clicked every time. Tweak tool provides a different
guarantee of stability. For instance: if you change an option in System
Settings and it results in a bug it must be fixed asap. At the same

to avoid misunderstandings: sloppy focus has less issues with every

Having a separate tweak tool is a lame workaround for lack of settings in 
the official tools. The only reason such tweak tools exist on proprietary 
operating systems is because the proprietary companies don't want to 
officially support some functionality, so you need a third-party tool to 
enable the hidden settings. Having an official tweak tool is really really 
silly.

Ok, I see the point, and thanks for the explanation. I did suspect that
some of the idea behind gnome-tweak-tool is providing features and
options that aren't stable enough to exist in system settings. Like a
collection of beta features. Would we then see features being eventually
moved from tweak-tool to system settings, as they are deemed stable and
mostly bug-free?

 the rational of the problem.


Too many questions, better to introduce an unexpected mouse-keyboard
combination?

 And the assumption was that using the power button would have been easy
 enough for people to get it ( since people do get it for like almost
 every possible electronic stuff and likely all computers stuff except a
 few one ). It doesn't seems a totally bizarre assumption to me.


Sound cards used to have physical volume knobs, maybe we should
reintroduce those and then there wouldn't be a need for a volume
control on the desktop? And get rid of network manager, I can always

 That's the problem. Most people prefer to talk rather to do work.
 And then complain that the others do not do exactly what they want for
 free and immediately.


Ah, no, my point is that this kind of 'do it yourself answer' doesn't
work for many people. Is the user that's confused by the choice
between shutdown and suspend expected to write their own extension to
do it? And yes, I realise there's an extension to do *that* particular
job.

 
   * We think Gnome 3 is doing similar type of mistake as Windows 8.
 
  GNOME3 has nothing to do with windows 8 other than both work better on
  touch devices then previous releases  supporting new hardware
  isn't really a bad thing imo.

 And neither much contemplated that the interface that's appropriate
 for a mobile phone is not appropriate for a desktop.

 Gnome-shell is not mean to be used nor appropriate for a mobile phone.
 And despite being rather usable on a touch screen ( I tested ), it is
 still not sufficient there for 1 million of details ( Vincent Untz talk
 also said the same, see gnome people to see the details ).


 So when the developpers say this is not made for a phone, when there is
 actual strong evidence that it doesn't work on a phone, why do people
 insist on the contrary ?

I didn't. I said:

Gnome 3 is designed for a touch interface. The majority of touch
interfaces are mobile phones. Touch interfaces on computers are a
minority. Gnome 3 is a poor mobile phone interface, but that doesn't
mean it's a good laptop or desktop one. Touch screen is not the
reality for the majority of office workers for example, and I do
wonder how useful it would be at all to them.

 https://extensions.gnome.org/ ... seems so ;)

Is not very useful. 19 pages of unorganised apps. It's not even

 GNOME 3 is not a mobile phone interface. Repeating that multiple times
 does not make it true.


I didn't. I implied it would be more suitable as a mobile phone interface.

  I still use Gnome
 3, despite the many helpful suggestions to change. I don't find it
 quite as annoying as Windows 8 (where it's sometimes hard even to know
 how to close down an app), but I do find that:
 1. I no longer use workspaces to manage different tasks unless there
 are lots of windows and then I sometimes overflow onto 2. This is
 because they're less useful as you now can't switch without going to
 the activities view and they aren't segregated well.

 You have a keyboard Crtl-Alt-up/down works fine (Odd on a mobile
 phone interface but you can do a lot of things with the keyboard).


Not my point. My point is that everything is made a little harder,
pushed a little further away, in ways that make more efficient working
patterns harder.

 And now I think this thread is going nowhere lets stop here.

In the end, more than any usability quibbles, the best reason to give
up on a project is when it refuses to listen to its end users.

This is a real problem with Enrico's packages. They're all really Enrico 
packages rather than Fedora packages as they're supposed to be. Just look 
at the bizarre Release versioning (e.g. 1800) nobody else is using. (Well, 
the kernel team is now using a variant of that, but the kernel has always 
been a bit special.) The correct way to handle the problem this is 
intended to solve is documented right in our guidelines:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Minor_release_bumps_for_old_branches
(but even that should only be needed in exceptional cases). Putting the 
systemd units for his services in a subpackage is also strange. All these 
things may or may not comply with the letter of the packaging guidelines, 
but they're definitely against the spirit, which is to have a consistent 
Fedora style rather than an Enrico style.

And even worse, Enrico doesn't seem to know or understand the concept of 
upgrade path, see the discussion on:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-14635
(His Release version hack doesn't help there because it's a new upstream 
version.)

more, ... I really can't imagine doing serious knowledge work without
a mouse or at least a trackpad. And I despise trackpads.

I use GNOME 3 with a mouse and keyboard. I like it. I can't imagine
using it on a phone or a tablet. I *think* what the GNOME 3 designers
(and the Unity bastardization of GNOME 3) were going for was an
interface that *could* be used either on a touch screen or a
conventional KVM setup. I've also tried both Cinnamon and MATE on
both Fedora and Linux Mint. Really, with a few mouse clicks, you can
customize *any* Linux desktop *except* GNOME 3 to be Mac-like (menu in
the upper left) or Windows-like (menu in the lower left) and can add
panels, taskbars, etc.

 Seriously, this package should be taken away from you. It's been 5 years
 of you being a drama queen going against everyone _including_ upstream.

In fact, IMHO, ALL packages should be taken away from him. He's maintaining 
all of them the same broken personally styled and upstream-unfriendly way, 
just look at clamav for an example (but I think any random Enrico package 
will do). I'm fed up of this behavior!

On record? Is there going to be a trial?
What frustrates me is it's such an uphill battle.
Step 1: Everything changes.
Step 2: Users protest, some leave.
Step 3: Supporters respond there's nothing wrong and essentially
everyone who doesn't like it is too stupid or lazy.
Step 4: Users carry on complaining.
Step 5: Some features are gradually re-added, without ever
acknowledging there was a problem in the first place.
Step 6: Minor release? Go to step 4.
Step 7: Major release? Go to step 5.
