Comment 73 for bug 930148

@ Bertrandel and all the others complaining about the loss of dodge windows... First of all I agree with you that the loss of dodge windows is bad. It was a lovely (and intuitive) feature imho and for it to be completely removed is a real shame and even slightly puzzling. HOWEVER, the decision has been made. Dodge windows is gone and we should accept that. While i'm no way an Ubuntu fanboy I do have a lot of respect for MS and all the people that make Ubuntu what it is and I back the decisions that they make. Of course, it is important to point out decisions we think are bad and I believe in this case that had been done quite clearly. Hopefully this will mean the feature will make a return as some point in the future. But now lets put this aside and embrace new features (such as HUD which I think is great :)).
I find it hard to believe that some long time members will stop using the OS simply because the launcher does not dodge windows. Thats really quite childish behaviour if you think about it. It's like the following child: "I want that one". parent: "No you're not allowed it". child: "fine then im not your friend, im leaving"

Now im not in anyway suggesting Ubuntu is the parent and the user is the child! bu im just trying to emphasise my point. leaving an OS because of one lost feature isnt a mature move. Besides if you just wanted a bit of eye-candy and some nice features then maybe other OS's would be better for you anyway (not referring to any in particular ;)). But I personally have countless other reasons for using Ubuntu and so the loss of this single feature, in truth, wont affect me much at all.
