the issue with that is that you start clicking them just because it
takes to long til they go away, they interrupt your work flow that way,
i noticed that since we use these kind of notifications in ubuntu (is it
5 or already 6 years that they are the default ?) my own distractions
have become massively less from having notifications. i read them,
notice what they want to tell me and simply rely on the fact they will
vanish.
i *never* feel the urge to interact with them (except for the case where
they actually cover screen space i want to be able to read). i
personally found the new notifications a big relief when they landed and
still find them to be very convenient *specifically* because you can not
interact with them, they make you develop better habits regarding your
own work flow.
i find it awesome that there are desktops like cinnamon where people
that love to interact with desktop elements can do that, but i haven't
found any desktop where all these little things like the above actually
sum up to make you so much more productive by simply going out of your
way like i have it in unity. i personally prefer to interact with
content, not with desktop elements ...
