(Get the code!)
I clearly see the cause of those bad decisions made by Mark Shuttleworth. He seems to be a huge Apple fan boy who really thinks that EVERYTHING what Apple does is a good decision! Which ofcourse is naive and leads them to bad design choices. I have used both OSX / iOS and compared it with GNOME/Android. It becomes very obvious to me when i'm used to easily perform a basic task in GNOME/Android to find out it's much more complicated or even impossible in OSX/iOS! Apple tries to justify this by saying we want to keep things simple, haha don't make me laugh, you are only making the simple things more complicated while making it illogical as well. This is the direction Ubuntu is heading which is very sad to say the least.
But the Unity design decision which annoys me the most is that window controls disappear for the maximized window when another unmaximized window is focused: https:/
Now users first have to focus the maximized window which as i explained above is a perfect example of complicating the simple tasks.
This design flaw can be partly solved by implementing logical dock behavior as requested by MOST users. Mark, instead of listening to your usability "experts" which probably use and are used to OSX and are tricked into believing that all which Apple has done is the way to go! No no nooo stop this madness now and for gods sake listen to the real usability experts which are the majority of the users. Majority vs minority, logic vs illogic and still Shuttleworth defies logic and thinks that by just commenting and dismissing what the majority wants, equals progress. Unity has potential, but this dictatorial Steve Jobs style decision making is bad for everyone! Just use your common sense and come up with practical, most effortless solutions for those daily tasks performed, now that's progress, not the other way around.
