As a followup to the latest Gnome/Galeon bashings:

I find it ironic that users with very unique needs complain about Galeon (or Gnome) not being written for them. You should consider that a large majority of users do not need the options you so desperately want in the GUI.

And it's not just "people who have never before used a computer". I certainly do not belong to that group, but I am happy with the Gnome approach of keeping setting dialogs small. One of the reasons I don't like KDE is that it's settings dialogs are unuseable. There are tons of options and I never find the one I'm actually looking for, even when I click through all of them.

Claiming this approach is "dictatorship" or "censorship" is hilarious, sorry.

On the one hand you claim that you don't *want* gnome. But then you want Galeon to stay the same old Galeon. How about those people who wrote it (and maybe even a majority of their users) who *do* want to go Gnome?

If you are "ion" users, use a webbrowser written for ion by ion users.

And don't complain about Gnome users writing a webbrowser for Gnome, please.

On the one hand you say that you happen to use galeon only because you thought all other sucked even more, then you complain about them "castrating their old users" - you are maybe just not typical for their users?

They could never satify your needs and their own at the same time anyway.
