Gnome devs have a nasty habit of “rethinking” things while ignoring tons of usability issues. I’d like them to stop rethinking things until they addressed those first…
You’re right! All other developments should be stopped and all further innovations halted until separated workspaces on multiple monitors is addressed. As the most popular issue on Gitlab, this is clearly where the shoe presses.
Really bothers me when people waste their time creating new features of free software when existing software don’t even meet the well-established universal criteria for perfection yet. What a waste.
I would love for this to be a thing, but as long as the WM stays EWMH compliant (like most full blown DEs right now), it won’t happen. It’s the one thing keeping me on true tiling WMs. I want virtual desktops to be tied to a monitor, not an X display.
New bridge syndrome. New bridges are exciting, less cruft to work through, and you get a ribbon cutting ceremony. Fixing pot holes is expected and you make drivers mad shutting lanes down.
That said, volunteers that are up to it, bug fixes (and creating good bug reports too) and documenting code is generally seen very appreciatly by code maintainers, but for users of unpaid for FOSS products, you’re going to get bugs and people will fix them when they feel like it.
If users want bug fixes in a certain time frame they need to pay somebody for SLA to fix bugs.
