If you think about productivity, you can't help but think that having the default state of your computer being an image with a few icons on it is less than stellar. For opening files, it will never be tidy enough to give you access to all you need, you need a launcher or a folder structure, meaning the desktop is bad at this. For opening apps, having visual shortcuts on the desktop is a duplicate of whatever panel or launcher you have.

I'm talking about people downvoting from all - if you're seeing content from some niche or geographic community because you're viewing all then downvoting something you're not interested in is a dick move.
