Comment 198 for bug 733349

This attitude of "moving on" with no real explanation and no real acknowledgement of the dissenters' position or proposed solutions shows a stifling, group-think bureaucracy and reveals a brittle organization that is actively rejecting the very people who were early adopters and promoters of the Brand.

The official condescension would be bad enough if the technical design were correct, but the "design" being questioned here is clearly wrong.

Whether double-clicks, multiple-clicks, or Morse-code-clicks accomplish the action is important but not quite the point: the design flaw is that the *nix tradition of the end user having the freedom (yes, freedom) to change the behavior of the software is being decided by... who? The 26 committers? The 15-member focus group? Certainly not the many people who have taken the time and effort to point out an important issue here on launchpad.net.

Ubuntu have decided Unity the only desktop environment. Ubuntu have decided Launcher will have default actions. Ubuntu have decided Launcher will have no user-modifiable behaviors, no configurable "double-click-to-minimize" settings.

Ubuntu's "my way or the highway" attitude, expressed here and realized in the Launcher code is the design flaw.
