Been  playing around with Gnome 3 a little bit. (That's where my 32GiB
 RAM come in handy -- I used overqemu[1]  and  *everything*,  even  the
 VM's hard drive, was completely in RAM.)

 I  noticed  that  they  don't provide the ability to minimize programs
 anymore. That's funny because my dwm doesn't  allow  that,  either.  I
 fully  embraced  the  concept of workspaces (yeah, I don't use them as
 tags) and so did the Gnome people. I like that.

 Gnome 3 actually looks good. It was a bit strange at first because all
 the  GUI  applications  are so minimalistic -- I'm used to full-blown,
 bloated GUI apps. What the Gnome people did, is not that bad, I think.
 Well,  as  far  as  usability  is concerned. I guess it's a total mess
 under the hood, but the average user doesn't care about that.  So,  if
 you're not a nerd, Gnome 3 might actually work very well for you.

 I  tried  to extend wepsyte[2] to become a real browser. Yeah, no. For
 now, it's too much work  for  too  little  benefit.  When  the  "real"
 browsers  become  completely unusable, I'll think about writing my own
 browser again. But today, I can live with Firefox.

 lot of dust filters. These things do a great job. :-)
