Brand - Ubuntu Wiki
pretty, as i've said before, is a feature, which is why i appreciate the attention to the aesthetics. approve or disapprove of the new designs, the direction is positive. i'll probably end up using the new theme, and the splash is very nice.

Luis Villa’s Blog / the linux desktop’s change problem
this focuses more on approach than specific recommendations in direction, but i'm in agreement with nearly all of it. and as for the question of direction, everyone knows where i think GNOME should go: online, with all possible speed.
