Bug Description
I can change Firefox in any way. Firefox has getElementById, insertBefore, setAttribute, removeChild etc to position, add, edit and remove interface elements. So I created two add-ons. https:/
I reported many bugs to Ubuntu.
To make you patch them, I need to convince you that the bug is so important that you need to work, which is very hard.
To make me patch them, I need to convince you that the bug is important, otherwise the patch won't be approved, which is hard, then I need to patch the bug, which is hard, then I need you to approve the code, which is hard, so it's triple hard.
To develop an app, I need to code my work and others will see my name, rate it high, install it lots, congratulate me by e-mail, recognize my work, that's fun, then I need your approval to the Ubuntu Software Store and you put a huge effort in it, you want more apps, I would probably get your approval, that's fun, then I need to show you since the app's popular, the bug is important and according to xkcd, I'm correcting a person on the internet, it's an important task, that's fun, so it's triple fun.
The Unity API is minimal. https:/
You said you don't want customizeability (I mean, you make unity have unmodifiable defaults) and you said you want more apps (I mean, you put a huge effort in the Ubuntu Software Store), but these two things are a contradication, because *if we can't do anything, why should we develop apps for you*?
If Unity uses XML DOM, documents app creation starting from overview, going to details with examples and gives credits to app creators, since changing the platform with apps is interesting to programmers, Unity will bring in as many ideas as Firefox brought in.
