I doubt they are either. There are lot of things built by very smart
people for very good reasons that turn out not to have been such a bright
idea after all.

The great thing about free software is that they can't force anyone to
change. If you want Gnome 2 keep running it and work with the people who
do. It certainly wouldn't be the first example of a new version of
something dying out and the old fork continuing successfully.

People said that about a nutty Finnish chap and his kernel project, and
about Richard Stallman and the concepts of the GPL and FSF. You can go
back through history and you'll find they said the same about such
madness as metal boats, the turbine engine, ....

People fear change and particularly dislike change being inflicted on
them (even in many documented cases where they then fight tooth and nail
to keep the change later on 8))

None of it makes them stupid or evil, any more than the people who've
designed some other classic fails (New coke would be a fine analogy here
perhaps)
