I code for 8 hours a day at work using gnome shell. It works perfectly fine. I'm equally productive in OS X. So yes, I do.


Sure, but the question is whether you would be equally productive on Android with a touchscreen instead of keyboard. I know I wouldn't.


what? how is that the question? the argument is that the desktop paradigm is on its way out, not that the keyboard is. the goal is to have a consistent UI that can be used equally well from a touchscreen or a mouse/keyboard interface. nobody is suggesting killing the keyboard, that's retarded.


So keyboard and mouse is in no way desktop paradigm? Really?
