We can never agree on the "best" user interface, that was clear to me a long time ago already.

Discussing user interfaces and consistency issues is good.

Discussing what's the "best" way and "how it should be" is _useless_.

There is only one answer to that: Bring in the same flexibility as there's on the (X11) desktop: The GUI should either be as configurable as the KDE window manager or e.g. FVWM, or the Hildon stuff should be opened/loosened up enough so that it's easy to replace the actual window manager. Thus, the long-click folks will get their thing, the context-menu folks likewise, ditto fat vs. small menus and icons. And so on.

User choice is the only thing that works for the desktop, it will be the only thing that works for the NIT.
