Comment 104 for bug 668415

Maarten, I don't know you personally, that is what I was talking about.
And another thing that wish to remember is that here, we are not ordinary
users. Many people here are Computer Science students, application
developers and all other sort of technical expertise. So don't think that
there are only dumb people complaining. Even Linus Torvalds is unhappy with
the current situation of Linux desktop.
We are not here to TROLL Unity, but trying to make it better. The fact that
the launcher is fixed in the left side of the screen is only a single
complaint in middle of many that I hear.
