Good riddance. I just want to maximize or tile my windows -- I've never found it useful to have desktop icons. The desktop just ends up as a sea of icons that you have to hunt through to find the one you want.

In other news people like you and I are such freaking minority that a well-targeted meteor rain can kill us all off. My usual desktop is Xmonad w/o any bars etc, Emacs w/ 2 windows and qutebrowser. I'm not a programmer, so people that look at my computer are usually non-techies, and they usually find it frightening.

No one forces you to use the feature, just because it's there. Other people do find it useful and they have every right to do so.
