@iron_bug @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Did the actually remove anything? I was pretty sure that's how GTK-based applications work when running in GNOME environment: menu bar on top of the screen, like in Mac OS X, but when run outside GNOME it's just a normal menu bar, top of the window. Is it not?
@iron_bug @safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Yes, this was abstraction for abstraction's sake. First it was just a bunch of XML-files with weird names inside an organized directory structure. Aside from the fact that XML is not THAT human readable it was not that bad. But it turned into a shitshow pretty soon.
The most odd thing of it is that in Mac OS X, where they drew inspiration from, it wasn't that bad: XML files really worked there, were readable and had sane utilities, and launchd was not as bad as systemd.
the open source is suffering from coprorations. they pay for making it a milk cow and turn normal software to corporative bullshit.
