Comment 97 for bug 527458

I agree with most comments here. An LTS release is NOT the place for radical changes. An LTS release that slows down my workflow is indeed a bad decision, because I have to stick with it for 3 long years (if I'm in need of a stable release). Mark, don't get me wrong: I appreciate new ideas about usability and reducing clutter, and I agree that sometimes things just needed to be done. But still...coming up with UI changes (like buttons on the left...and so on) and usability changes (like indicators without tooltips or indicators that burden me with scrolling through menus to letting me perform a certain action) is a bit too much - especially for an LTS release.

You may think that we will get used to it, and maybe we will. Maybe we don't see the big picture behind all this. But maybe you're just a little bit to rough with the users and...maybe a bit too eager. Please consider what we are thinking about it. You're SABDFL, it's still in your hands.
