 By extending this logic, i could say that Tracker developers only (hint
 hint) will decide. Can't we just discuss things together? And why
 constantly polarize this discussion as a developer vs non-developer issue?
 You're not bringing anything rational to the discussion here, i'm sorry.
 Besides, invinting people to change OS's is just inadmissible.

 I'm not at all passionate about the debate and i acknowledge advantages on
 both sides, i'm just trying to be smooth for all. First get actual figures
 about the current preferences and opinions, and either find ways to
 educate people about spatial mode (and/or find what people are missing) or
 maybe enhance our single window mode (which already has some 'spatial'
 features), i don't know... Well the only thing i know is that both modes
 aren't perfect as they are, i.e why do we need two modes?
