@seb128:
"Softwares behaviour can't please all users who have different workflows"
Agree, but they should provide options to try get closer to please these users, at least.
"The unity choices are often driven by design and confirmed or not by user testing. Those commenting that quite some users showed in that bug they don't agree the decision, it doesn't mean those use are representative, those who know enough to use a bug tracker and care enough to comment on it are quite technical users, their need might be different from most of the non technical users."
Yes, but how many technical users participate of these user testing? I'm sure that this kind of users is a representative part of Ubuntu ecosystem.
"You can also note that GNOME3 removed the minimize button from their wm controls, you can read their rational on https:/
Sure, *but* the minimize button can be enabled again through gnome-tweak-tool. This way, the non-technical users that don't use minimize at all, have no unecessary buttons and more technical users that want this button back, can enable it. I think it's clear that there is a difference between the two decisions (from GNOME team and Canonical).
Anyway, I think that, unfortunately, the decision is already take.
@rohit-kumar-saraf: the unity trunk version doesn't include this functionality (my branch, that is linked to this report has the new functionality, but there is a known bug - related to bug #724045 - that I'll not fix, since the new code won't be merged with trunk).
