I'm willing to see how things develop.  This is a phase of the project
where developments will come quickly and may improve the user experience
dramatically.  I'm not frustrated enough to bolt at this point, and I
think the trajectory is positive.

Reading through the introduction at gnome.org and some other basic
resources made the transition simpler than it would have been otherwise.

I think that's likely.  I also note that several people have chimed in
recently with a more positive take.
