 > We have taken into account the complaints that the cap of four lines was
 too small and have increased it to a maximum of half the window. Virtually
 everyone we asked about that change (including people who came
 complaining) agreed that that would likely be more than enough for them.

 Woo hoo! Yeah, that'd be sufficient for me too.

 it releases soon) we are still waiting for further feedback on this issue
 once people get a chance to try it.

 and calm and presenting your statements as what they are (personal
 opinions and feelings) and not assuming that you speak for some large
 unspoken majority of people. Also for realizing that despite the negative
 effects a given change might have had on your usage for the moment that
 the changes are not intended as attacks and are intended to make things
 better for everyone in the long run.

 This is reminiscent of when Ubuntu introduced window snapping. The border
 attraction settings were way too strong to be useful at first and a lot of
 people got mad. Then the devs tweaked it and suddenly it was a super nice
 feature and everyone(?!) is happy. I expect that's what'll happen here
 too...sometimes people (myself included) just get a little aggressive on
 their side of the feedback cycle.

 Thanks,
 Michael
