[vimacs2]

I generally like Gnome but I do find the lack of consideration for extensions when making updates more than a little frustrating.

For context, I use Arch so whenever I do a system upgrade which includes a gnome package, it often results in me having an unpleasant experience the next time I have to reboot and suddenly all my customizations are missing till the extensions get updated to have compatibility with the new gnome version.

I generally like the UI paradigm that Gnome has (including the lack of desktop icons) but certain things are a nuisance such as the lack of system trays without extensions. I fail to see exactly what I'm gaining from their absence especially in the context of apps not built specifically for Gnome - such as steam and many torrent clients.
