Funny how he complains about missing the German language setting and proposing a new system where my language (Dutch) is completely missing... I will stick to Gnome...
Clearly he designed an example from scratch to underline his basic point, which makes sense because he’s making a point about user interface design. There are only a handful of languages in there—presumably an actual list will have more.
That's a good sign. Gnome has only become practical for me in recent years. I believe it's because its designers were from the original Mac OS era (pre OSX) where they favored too much simplicity at the cost of functionality. Maybe Hello designers are trying to get the balance of usability & functionality of OS X / modern Mac OS? If so, that's a great goal and I look forward to trying out what they have to offer in the near future.
