</span>I think that's an overly

I use it and find it perfectly

<div>Hate? No. Confusion? Yes.
Intuitive (especially compared to

think the empirical evidence of
the sheer number of "how does this

<div>I'd argue vocal minority. People that like
it don't bother to pipe up on the mailing list
about it. People that don't like it are more
likely to post about it. I had similiar
threads when I changed the Mythbuntu theme's
recordings and videos screens. So much that I
decided to release the old version as a
"classic" version of the theme (as it was easy
enough to do). Less than 1% of all mythtv
users use that classic theme (0.8%, 60 users),
and the Mythbuntu theme (the one with the
changes that were "universally hated") is used
by 50X more users</div>

Well, me. I didn't specifically ask that to be guided. But I
couldn't get it to work when I sat down to use it. It wasn't
obvious. It wasn't easy. And my wife was tapping her feet expecting
me to come to the dinner table. <br>
<br>
Now enough people are damning with faint praise here that I'll go
back and try again. But the first sip from the well has been pretty
bitter.<br>
