“Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”

Andreas has already explained the issues we faced w.r.t. Tango’s maintenance,
so I won’t repeat them. However, I take issue with the suggestion that the
decision to drop Tango as a default didn’t include visual testing against Linux
desktop environments. The design team did tailor the defaults to users’ DEs,
the Elementary theme is itself a Linux-born icon theme, whose original author
has even expressed Tango influences. What other kind of testing do we need? If
you meant to convey that Tango as a LibreOffice theme has stood a “test of
time” or something, well, that shouldn’t ever be an impediment for people to
try something new, especially when we’re giving users a very similar
replacement.
