Fwd:Ubuntu, please don't waste time on upgrading your flashy & silly themes, desktop-effects!

In fact, I also merely use Vim/Emacs/Terminal developping in most time.
These suggestions for Ubuntu desktop's development.
Pitifully,so far, linux desktop users, geek & tech & programmer are the
majority.

Maybe ... Linux desktop market share still never  greater than 10% ,  in
the future.
