Re: [PLUG] I have had time to consider and may now comfortably hate Unity.


Wow.  I love Canonical, but I don't agree with the below at all.
Anyway, I wish you luck improving things.

And for the love of all that's holy, see if you can convince whoever
is responsible to stop compulsively showing us every possible related
app that *could* be installed when we generally just want to see the
ones that *are* installed.

Cheers,
Matt
