The Best Features Of GNOME In 2012

1401: The god-damned system tray. Unless you personally plan to accommodate every single legacy app I use, leave it the hell alone.

1402: Hot-corner / virtual desktop exposure, extensions.gnome.org

1403: The HUD and search menu getting out of my way

1404: basic features such as having minimize and maximize buttons for all windows

1405: only with fallback mode is performance acceptable in VMs, with USB graphics, or on older systems. compositing desktop kills gnome for us.

1406: Touchscreen support

1407: remove this stupid zablet optimized interface and the shell

1408: Too many to list.

1409: Expose-like mode

1410: tomboy notes. system monitor applet. taskbar notifications of xchat messages. rapid app switching

1411: The apps search screen. By far the best I've used (did used windows 7 start, windows 8 fancy start, MacOS spotify, haven't touch unity yet)

1412: Workspace switching, menu, configuration

1413: Extensions to FIX Gnome's shortcomings

1414: old fashioned gnome 2 desktop

1415: Tiling window management, middle click to minimize, close button, (hidden hibernate option), dual monitor dual workspaces, keyboard shorts for switching workspaces, expose window management, buttom notification bar

1416: GNOME-2 Panel Workspace Windows Selector Application Launcher Run Application Seperator

1417: Integration, polish, and stuff that just work

1418: I absolutely rely on being able to search programs by just hitting the super button and typing

1419: grid workspace

1420: launcher, scale windows

1421: dynamic workspaces

1422: dynamic workspaces

1423: universal search

1424: nothing that isn't available in kde, hard to tell

1425: Good use of my Thinkpad's keys

1426: Instant Messaging integration

1427: Not sure

1428: fixed desktop

1429: multi-monitor support

1430: Multiple configurable panels, which can be customized with whichever applets

1431: I don't rely on any of it.

1432: I don't rely on any of it.

1433: the speed of Gnome

1434: Hot corners, wish that it was as configurable as the hto-corn-dog extension

1435: double taskbars

1436: gnome3 desktop

1437: Auto logins

1438: App window switch, social/messengers intergration, network services

1439: Shell is nice and has good future

1440: Window list

1441: a fast usable filemanager

1442: Down panal with windows switcher

1443: hot corner, keybord navigation

1444: Nautilus access to server.

1445: Activity window, window switcher etc

1446: rightmost menu with important commands

1447: gnome 2 interface

1448: Taskbar in GNOME2

1449: Tree view in Nautilus (I think its already gone in 3.6)

1450: integration, uniqueness, homogenization, robustness

1451: power consumption with gnome 3 has regressed (would love to see phoronix measure them someday. a window manager sitting idle should not use up extra cpu or gpu ressources)

1452: The whole gnome shell sucks

1453: easy navigation, GNOME 2 system tary applets

1454: uhm… gnome-system-monitor.

1455: The bright UI and the Gtk+

1456: The bright UI and the Gtk+

1457: Nothing particular

1458: Gnome Shell

1459: The widgets on the bars

1460: Alt+F2, r

1461: nautilus compact view

1462: PIM integration

1463: sloppy focus

1464: I'm using kde.

1465: There's a reason why the "traditional" GUI got that way -- it works the best.

1466: search,application center,quick switch windows by thumbnails

1467: Activities screen

1468: black panel

1469: themes, multiple desktops

1470: nothing special

1471: Following its own way

1472: keyboard shortcuts

1473: type-ahead navigating (not searching!) in file manager, alt+tab switches between windows instead of apps

1474: multi monitor support

1475:

1476: Traditional desktop metaphor

1477: Brasero, Dia, Evince, Gcalctool, gThumb, Planner

1478: I did like Sun java in the old days, I like the accessibility of Gnome, I hate Unity.
