I find the negativity pointless, it achieves nothing.
With regards to accepting my reply let me ask you did you take the time to
let the MATE devs (Clem at Linux Mint is not a MATE dev) know and make
suggestions on how to make it easier to use? In other words did you file a
bug report based on usability? If you did do you have the number? I can
check it for you and let you know what's being done. If you didn't then I
would suggest you do in order to help a small project make itself better
and be more usable.
The vast majority of Linux, especially small scale projects like MATE and
TDE, is done by volunteers. Posting that things are "awful" does not help
Linux at all when nothing is being done to help. If we use emotional
responses to things we do not like and not file bug reports then
complaining is pointless.
I appreciate your point of view and respect your opinion as an opinion
however I cannot accept that the criticism is fair and anything more than
an emotional response if you have done nothing to help projects that you
are using to make their product better.
