that's as you said your opinion but there might be a reason from a UI design
point of view why nearly no other distribution nor other operating systems
(like our friends from Redmond and they've done back in 3.11) use the
spatial mode. Please don't understand this personal, I simply think ...

... that the majority of people don't use this mode. Again, this not
personal and no one think that you are "nuthole" (at least I think that no
one think this :)). It's just looking at other distributions and operating
systems which all don't use this mode, so I think there is at least the need
of a discussion about it. Maybe we have UI experts on this list who can
provide us with details about the UI research and what they think might be a
smart approach.
