Comment 82 for bug 733349

@Ed Lin
You sure come across as a dictator from Canonical to me (in fact to be honest I've seen better dealings from Canonical at times).

What gives you the impression that keeping the current behaviour is not possible for a dock? Also, why call it a dock, if it's not supposed to be one? Also, why are we copying Mac verbatim in the behaviour of the "Launcher". Users who have already been using Ubuntu/Linux for a long time (and yes, Windows), will be accustomed to minimizing via a simple click on the icon, and it will come as a surprise when they are forced to adapt to so many changes at once. First, we move window controls to the left, arranging them like Mac (for no reason) and claim it's for "windicators", which never came into existence. Then, we come up with a global menu bar, for no reason, and refuse to listen to users who argue that there could be a better solution. Oh, and indicator applets, no autohide for you. Again, something users have been arguing we should have had for a while. And then there is the problem of this launcher's behaviour. We keep saying, common sense dictates that it should behave in at least a more familiar way so as to avoid **further** confusion. Alas - it MUST change to be like Mac as well...

Is my point becoming clear as yet? Or do I need to go on?

@Ed Lin btw not all of the above is directed toward you, just the the first 3 questions.
