This is my issue with a lot of Linux distros they seem to try to hard to
look and work like mac or like windows while I would rather have them
look and work like the xwindows I knew and loved.? One of my biggest
aggravations is cut and paste I would very much rather it worked more
like it used to on X.

(You have to hack the theme xml file to make the borders
wide enough to grab and stretch.)
I lasted about 4 hours with Unity. I am a spatial thinker,
I want all my icons and toolbar icons to STAY PUT, I grab
them by position, not by searing for the picture (icon) I
want to select.
I am not trying to impose my choices on anyone.
I liked Unity. It was simple, quick, clear and effective.
I find GNOME 3 to be frustrating to the level of shouting incoherently
at my computer within half an hour. Ditto KDE (any version >1.x).
Others like them.
