The development of Ubuntu Tweak is stopped.

The real meaning is lost in translation.

It's one of three things for me.

1) The author feels Ubuntu is becoming the Microsoft of Linux and he will not continue to support it based on ethical reasons.

2) The cost of supporting and maintaining quality free software takes considerable effort and time. You have to be altruistic in every sense of the word to be an open source developer. People expect and sometimes demand you keep pace with every release of Ubuntu and be technical support/troubleshooter for them. All of that for free.

3) He hates Unity and is moving on (like I did). Just kidding, Ubuntu, err I mean Lubuntu is great.

It's number 2. He's hoping to take a break for a bit and then maybe come back at a bit slower pace. http://blog.ubuntu-tweak.com/2012/10/22/thank-you-ubuntu-twe...

"Ubuntu, err I mean Lubuntu is great."

Don't forget Xubuntu ;)

I've never really understood this, what's so hard about "apt-get install xfce" and choosing that from the gdm menu instead of Unity? Why is there an entire secondary project for something that used to be a checkbox choice on Debian and Redhat?

if you've got an old computer that you're trying to make useful, it's a lot easier (for most users, who can't config the alt-installer) to just download and burn xubuntu.
