I've been feeling this way for years, and I've mostly ascribed it to my faulty perception. I figured that if things simply aren't getting faster (i.e., they're not changing at all), I'm probably just imagining them getting slower.
But then I start wondering why aren't things getting faster...
It isn't? A coworker has one and Fedora looks pretty stellar on it. What qualms do you still have with it?

I'd expect it's really 22.7., but this is more fun.
I'm finding it more straining than even the HN orange.
Preemptive answers:
1. Yes, this was heavily inspired by Goat Attack (https://goatattack.com/).
2. Python, Django, Twilio, Stripe, and Heroku.
3. Partner in crime: aubricus.
I've used the Python version with great success.
Alternately, Linux by default could be seen as a sign that hardware is reasonably well supported, so rolling one's own may be less effort than otherwise.
At my previous company we used Vagrant for most projects, and it provided a nice abstraction layer that made things work reasonably well across all platforms (macOS, Windows, and Linux). Vagrant on Windows definitely had its challenges, though, but projects themselves ran well once that was sorted out.
I've heard the company has since moved to Docker, in search of those same benefits but with smaller overhead (specifically in terms of time spent managing the abstraction layer), and I gather the Windows folks are happier with it than they ever were with Vagrant.
My own (macOS-only) experience with both has been mixed, but certainly not worse than just running things locally via virtualenv. Vagrant introduces a full VM into the stack and Docker seems to have a lot of stability issues (at least on macOS 10.12 Sierra), so my next plan is to try combining the two, and running Docker on a Fedora VM. I'm hoping that any Docker nightmares will then at least be confined to the guest system, leaving my main machine mostly out of it, and using Docker to set up the actual project stuff may mean less Linux administration of the VM itself.
We all have different requirements. I can understand that threading may be important to some, but feel that ignoring users and consistent notification defaults are on the same level.
In fact, seeing as how notifications are already implemented, I see the inconsistency (which has caused me to miss important messages on multiple occasions) as a bug, which should take precedence over a new feature.
But still, clearly many feel differently, and that's OK. :)
- No way to ignore/mute users. Yes, I sometimes need to do that even on my team.
- Group DMs inherit notification preferences of channels instead of DMs.
- No visual distinction between "/me says hi" and "_says hi_". (OK, may be minor, but as a long-time IRC user it's quite annoying.)
I can't wait for this threading to introduce the headaches inherent to some users using them and others not.
2. Do you write a significant amount of English prose? If so, is any if it in a markup language like Markdown or rST?
3. How do you find life on multiple devices (computers, smartphones, tablets) to be, especially if you jump between layouts?
Thanks in advance!
I can't remember who turned me onto pgcli, but I've been telling everyone I can about it for a long time now. It's wonderful.
Thank you!
I welcome feedback of all sorts, but especially suggestions for feeds to include, be they yours or not.
I'll try and swing by throughout the day to address any questions, concerns, and comments, too.
They're fundamentally perceived by everyone (in my experience) as an extension of individual direct messages, which do trigger notifications, and yet I find myself missing these for minutes/hours at a time, sometimes when it's important, all because I've finally trained myself to ignore the non-numeric notification badge.
I've contacted the support about this and was basically told to go away. :/
