Comment 12 for bug 1714804

"It doesn't make sense to spend time porting non-native applications when native applications already exist that can do the job."

A open source developer is proud of his code and wants it to run on as many subsystems as possible. The whole point of GNU is that software is agnostic to its platform.

I can't imagine someone wants to just throw away very well written quality code and hand it over to some really terrible, non-functional, and unsafe code.

The subsystem (gnome) is hopefully mature and modular enough to fix indicator-multiload with only a small effort. The Unity desktop environment is End of Life so this is just basic life-cycle management.

Getting gnome-shell-system-monitor up to indicator-multiload's quality standards will take much, much, much more effort and time before all the bug reports get filed and fixed.

I have no problem with change. I have a problem with quality degradation because people put their principles above quality.
