Re: [Trisquel-users] Default desktop in 7 still looks horrible

[dhunt]

@onpon4 I think the main reason GNOME is still used is the accessibility.   
GNOME Shell's accessibility is much improved since version 3.4 (as in  
Trisquel6), so, Shell with llvm pipe, or something, for accelleration should,  
perhaps, be the new default.  Shell is slow, especially with accessibility  
enabled. Since I feel I don't benefit from Shell's overhead, I have installed  
Mate on a machine running Arch.  Though Mate's accessibility isn't yet as  
mature as that of GNOME, it's better than that of XFCE and LXDE. I have no  
experience with Cinnamon, though, have heard, for a long time, that it is not  
accessible.  Elsewhere in this forum, I've mentioned accessibility  
regressions that have cropped up in Trisquel 7 Alpha.  They don't have to do  
with the desktop, rather, with a few of what I'd consider "core"  
applications.  Maybe these are up-stream? Though, they haven't been reported  
in Ubuntu 14.04.
