Daniel-
Let's judge this feature based on more feedback than just yours.
I'm *not* the only one who had a similar complaint.
So far I only count you and Elisabeth. Both Linux users - not exactly technology newbies.
No - my arguments are from the perspective of a person who is using the feature for the first time.
Not true - you used various versions of the toolbar.
A developer who engages in a CVS commit war in opposition to the consensus of the other developers
That's utter and complete bullshit. I'm very disappointed - why do you have to resort to lies to make your point?
A developer who does not listen to users
Yeah, I only made about 20 changes because I don't "listen to users." The problem is that by "listen to users" you mean that the opinion of a select few users should decide whether a feature goes live or not. I, on the other hand, argue for exposing a feature to a larger group before making a decision. The feature is not broken - the best way to test its usability is thus to activate it a couple of weeks. What exactly is your problem here?
Regards,
Erik
