As the Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) development gets going, many people will probably be wondering what new end-user features they can expect. This article lists the top 5 new features. My Take: Nothing really exciting. I still shiver over the inability of the default Totem installation not de-interlacing my camcomder-derived home videos and DVDs because GStreamer doesn't support it, or no full A/V support on Pidgin yet, or something as simple as this which I've been asking for years now and it would probably take 5 minutes to implement.

Yeah, typical answer of a person that does not want to provide a patch or any help, say it is not going to happen, even though they don't know if it is going to. Please, next time, file a bug report and submit a patch if you can. People just sit there waiting for developers to do everything, there is one simple factor, open source developers are most of the time voluntary workers. Windows is hacked on by a lot of people that get paid a lot of money, yet they need vendors to make drivers for them. And they make an OS that doesn't just cut it for me and is too buggy.
But well, people are being infected by the Linux haters blog syndrome, a person that does not contribute and just whines, how mature of him.

Five hours seems like a tiny investment for something that you have apparently been harassing the gnome developers about for over a year :-)
