Re: Am I sensing a horse-cart situation here ?
my grumbles with Android could be fixed by an improved UI toolkit that application designers could adopt...
you know, something that gives you 3D skeuomorphic without the difficulty of application-drawn controls, etc.
I don't expect GNOME devs, who "feel" that 2D FLATSO is a good thing [obviously], and "feel" that GNOME 3 is better than GNOME 2 was [I use MATE as a desktop], and "feel" that requiring 'special keys' without proper documentation to access the properties of the panel are a good thing [Linus _specifically_ bitched about that], and INTEGRATING! WITH! SYSTEMD! AND! DBUS! is a good thing [obviously NOT a good thing], would come up with a phone/slab OS that's any better than 'droid.
I think it would be WORSE for all of the things we do not like about 'droid.
I can't imagine what their "app store" would look like. And I doubt you'll be able to install un-approved applications, the way you can on 'droid (i.e. anybody can turn "that" off and load any APK file they download, if they want to).
