[dba-Tech] UI is not just a Windows8 problem

Hi All:

The Window8 user interface has been panned to ad nauseum but Microsoft is
not the only screw ups. It appear that Gnome3, a Linux distro interface is
getting the third degree and it appears justifiably so.

Maybe the designers of the two interfaces can learn from each other as both
seem to have violated the fundamental rules when designing for clients which
has resulted in exactly the same problems and conclusions.

1. Lack of configuration options

2. Developers don't listen to users

3. Bring back traditional interface
