I see no reason to take something off list that I did not bring onto the
list.
You say you are not complaining, if using the adjective awful is not a
complaint about the usability of Mint/MATE what is it?
I genuinely have no problem with what you have pointed out, I do however
feel you go overboard.
Like I said in my first response to this topic I see alot of TDE is
"wonderful" (which is great) but everything else is "awful".
When you use something, and by your own admission you use Mint/MATE, and
you find a problem with it it really does help others if you tell the
people who are developing it. Your reply certainly indicates you never did
this so to be fair your complaint isn't really helpful. Do you report
problems you find with TDE? If you find something I bet you would because
you have an emotional attachment to TDE but you don't have an emotional
attachment to anything else and because of this it appears as though it is
fine for you to bag them.
I find that extremely unfair and unreasonable especially when you wont take
the time to help projects you do use.
