"Some bad blood between Linus Torvalds and GNOME developers is flaring up again. Previously, Torvalds has said that Linux users should switch to KDE instead of GNOME because of the GNOME team's 'users are idiots' mentality. Now he has 'put his money where his mouth is' by submitting patches to GNOME in order to have it behave as he likes. This week, on the Linux Foundation's (formerly OSDL) Desktop Architects mailing list, the two sides are going mano a mano." Can I interest you in a pair of these and these?

You miss that mimetype-editor? Really it was a pain to use. You hardly could find the mimetype you were looking for, zillions of mimetypes (sometimes even listed multiple times), no search, it hardly worked.
)
You talk about "Clean well-structured and simplified layout" and want the old mimetype-editor back. What a contrast.
The new system is so much better. There is one thing it fails: Change the default app for a group of mimetypes, e.g. open all video files with mplayer instead of totem.
But don't be sad, because there is a concept design for a central mimetype-editor on the ubuntu wiki. And a nautilus dev showed interest in it. So maybe you'll get your toy. (Hopefully done right this time.
Oh and the link to the spec: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Usability/SpecEnhancedPreferredApps
