It depends on your definition of 'moron'.  I've used Macs for years
and the UA is sheer genius to get the 'common user' to work with the
system.  Yes, it has to be 'dumbed down' as most users don't even know
the term 'menu bar'.  I've liked Gnome since it first came out because
it made the assumption that the person in front of the screen actually
knew something about computers and how they worked.  If Gnome 3 is a
step away from this, it might be better for Linux, but not so for
those of us that have used it for about 18 years. (Slack .91 anyone?)
