Point me to one application that doesn't exhibit 'sane' behaviour - I'm not claiming that they don't exist but lack a key thing called 'evidence' to back up your position.


Here's a weird one I get all the time. For some reason Firefox seems to forget file associations on my computers. Don't know why. But I have to navigate to /usr/share/apps/app_name_here to open the file. If I was less knowledgeable, I would have no clue to look there.

I am one of the people that believe more sane structure or at least naming scheme would be a big improvement.
