We reported earlier on a blog post entitled "Ubuntu Report Card (2009)" where the author detailed how they felt the Ubuntu experience had improved over the years. In a follow-up series of articles looking at the future, Tanner Helland has written 10 different broadly-scoped feature requests that [he] 'and many others would like to see by the time Ubuntu 10.10 rolls around'.

I don't believe this paper cut effort is realistic at all. I submitted tons of real papercuts that does in fact make ubuntu (or the gnome desktop in total) look far less polished than OSX and even Windows. So far they all got rejected for some reason. They ranged from graphical glitches to behavioral issues, and in all cases they were rejected with some "working as intended" comment or even comments about it not being their problem, this despite following the rules of the paper cuts thingy.
Kind of reminds me of that minister in Iraq that refused on TV that the americans were in bagdad while you could almost see the tanks rolling in in background. The devs may say "its not an issue" lots of times, but it does not make it true for anyone except themselves.
So after that I am actually considering buying a Mac in pure frustration over the arrogance when I spent time actually trying to contribute and was shot down each time. I dont really think they will ever hit the same level of user experience with this attitude towards the problems.
