Honestly people.  Really? This whole thread has devolved into watching a
flock of birds peck at one another.  Trying to belabor this process to
death by having a running popularity contest of who likes what where
won't convince anybody of anything.  I would be willing to go out on a
limb and suggest that everyone who has posted to this tread thinks the
same thing now as before they posted.

I in fact have been employed within the field of human computer
interaction.  This type of change just really isn't that significant.
It is annoying to relearn, but so is everything else ever so subtly
different between any two systems.  Haven't you ever sat down at a
friends computer and felt the psychological discomfort that comes from
having different programs installed, short-cuts in different locations,
and configuration settings slightly different?

My hat's off to the whole Ubuntu community for building a hell of a
system.  My hat is off, and will remain so, to Mark S. for his
generosity in funding Canonical and the Ubuntu community with his
personal resources, including his time and his wealth.  Show some
gratitude and stop acting like my six year old.

Mark and the design team are making a tough call.  That's what they do.
That's why they are in the positions they inhabit.  Even wolves and
lions recognize that any group needs leaders.  In the end, a committee
creates excellent dialogue, but the chairperson has to make the
decisions and live with the results.

My two cents suggest that the current position of the close button on
the right side of the three windowing buttons 'feels' wrong.  The
buttons were kept in the same order as on the right, but simply moved to
the left.  Understanding the danger of using the same layout as Mac OS
X, and the comments of copying and emulation that will undoubtably
ensue, the close button seems to belong in the corner.  However, its not
my call.  I love enough about Ubuntu not to get in a huff over one
issue.  If a persons commitment to something can't even weather one
issue failing to meet expectations, then their commitment was zero
anyway.

Thank you again to everybody who has worked so hard to make Lucid such a
well developed system, especially those whose contributions have spanned
not only this release, but all those that came before - those long hours
of incremental improvement have made this a highly anticipated release
in my Free Software experience.
