I made a small edit to the bottom of this blog post. I hope it clarifies things a bit more.

In any case the c’est bon, c’est la vie rule applies.

@rhowaldt. I wouldn't spend to much energy on this one. caeing appears every 6 months or so, imparts and argues  his subjective wisdom then leaves. It will be the same pattern this time. I'd suggest not engaging with it.

A little off-topic but I can't tell you how much I've fallen in love with this little application (FocusWriter). Maybe it's the little typewriter sounds as you type or that it takes over the screen and removes distractions like your web apps open in the panel. It's probably a combination of those and the nice theme/configuration options.

In any case it's brilliant. I'd highly recommend it to someone doing a lot of writing. Many nanowrimo participants swear by it

I posted a link in your other thread

That's not quite true. I haven't used CrunchBang as my main distro since before the release of Statler. It usually just runs in a virtualbox. This was the first actual install I've done in quite a while. Perhaps the perception that I do use it is a testament to the amount of support I've had (and still maintain) for the distro. There's a difference between feedback/criticism and abandonment. In my defence, corenominal did ask me for feedback when it was released.

@VastOne. I don't think there's much wrong with a bit of objective criticism. If no one raises an issue and blindly accepts shortcomings then  open source has a bleak future. As you've surmised, the commentary isn't aimed at users like yourself who can quickly correct any issues that may arise. My feedback is aimed at users who install, upgrade and break something like their new video drivers or  as in my case a few months ago - apt. Backports is great but it should be used with caution and with being made aware of the consequences. Much like using the Liquorix kernels. User beware.

In that article I say

I stand by that

@ivanovnegro, it looks like my old friend Xfce to me

I made a thread about the backports issue.  Let's move the discussion there and get this thread back on topic

One reason why using backports by default is not such a good idea. It would have been better if the backports repo was appropriately pinned and only used for select packages. I've removed my new Statler install due to a couple of issues that may or may not have been caused by backports.

It would appear so

@VastOne - in that shot it looks like the Xfce4.6 to 4.8 menu bug where the entries for Web browser etc disappear. Is this a fresh Statler (new images) installer with Xfce4 added or an older system?
