Hello, folks.

With this discussion we can see how the thinking of a developer may be
far from the thinking of an end user. Everything an end user wants is
to use, simply as that. He assumes the system is working and to use
should be a simple thing. None of end users wants to read the
documentation before using (or my mother of 60 years old have to
Google and read the documentation of Nautilus in order to use it
without a million of opened windows on the desktop?). This spatial
mode "that brings the reality of a real desktop" to the virtual
desktop is absurd, because what it brings is the disorganization of
the real desktop, full of stuff scattered throughout the screen, which
is stressful and unproductive.

I don't know why for so long spatial remains the default of GNOME,
this only shows that the community is not being heard properly. The
Fedora Project should conduct polls to be more accessible to their end
users and not just the groups inside the project. Let's remember that
one of our slogans is the "voice of the community" and not "the voice
of the developers" or "the voice of ambassadors", because only for a
developer I could hear that 'OpenOffice is ugly and AbiWord is cool'.
AbiWord is cool inside its limitations, but it is not a good choice
for offices. A FACT so obvious that don't deserve any discussion.

Forgive me if some words sounds more heavy that I want, but my English
is very poor and it difficults a lot.
