10 features that Win98 has and GNOME lacks

Here some unresolved, unconsidered, unfixed features that Windows 98 has and GNOME Desktop doesn't.
Gnome would like to be the most user friendly desktop but these are long-time user requested feature.. and some of them still dosn't have an answer on Bugzilla.

I don't say that the feature to "resize an icon" is useless but probably GNOME needs a better priority managing on usability issues.
Every week I see on Digg a "10 issues that GNOME.." news and many GNOME user are interesting about KDE4, that is coming,.. So corporations are important but also the userbase..

File Browsing

  • to get a useful autocompletion in Nautilus location bar
  • to have a compact list view
  • select multiple files in a list view only with the mouse
  • create a new file in a list view only with mouse

System

  • to share a folder via it's own property dialog
  • to have black font on the icon description on the desktop
  • undo a move/rename action (#167501)

Shortcuts

  • to use ALT+F4 to close applications and desktop session
  • to have a confirmation when you press CANC (#316807)

Menu

  • drag and drop a shortcut into the application menu

only gnome lacks them

Kde 3.5.x has all or almost all of these.
Gnome is issued to another target, people less interested in user-friendlyness and
more interested in eye-candy (compiz above all)....

Free, usable, accesible,..

>> only gnome lacks them
this is why I don't use gnome!

>> Gnome is issued to another target, people less interested in user-friendlyness
no... this is only the Gnome's programmers excuse!
for example "multiple file select with mouse" is a basic function...
there a no reason for not implementing it.

kde?gnome?xfce?

yo, bash rocks.

Sono indubbiamente della grandi mancanze quelle che hai citato, che pero', secondo me, passano in secondo piano se si tiene in conto di tutto quello che gira attorno...qualche passaggio in più da fare, indubbiamente, ma finchè si concentrano su altri progetti/aspetti del desktop per me è ok... :-)

all'utente non gliene frega niente di tutto il resto, vuoi poter selezionare i file con il mouse senza sentirsi un imbecille. E non parlo di utontO... parlo proprio di utentE!!!
Cazzo... c'e' il mouse... vogliamo dare agli utenti il modo di usarlo?!!
