Yes, that is true but nowadays that premise has been almost forgotten 
(just look around what the main DE -KDE and GNOME are doing).

Sure, what still remains true is that you can always make your choice: 
if you don't like how something is done you can jump to another one :-)

No, don't take it in that way, that's not fair.

I was telling you just what's another linux user (me) point of view, 
that is, what are my preferences and what I do to access to my windows 
shares. Of course every one of us have a different thinking and like 
doing things in different ways, that's normal. You like your system 
behaves like a MacOS (in this regard), I don't, that's all.

Don't be upset, you can always ask for such functionality in GNOME's 
bugzilla, who knows, maybe it's already done within the new gnome-shell :-)
