IMO, that's a misperception: Most people who complain about Gnome3 don't like its look'n'feel and/or are missing certain functionalities, but like the Gnome2 look'n'feel and/or certain functionalities. That's entirely different from forking Gnome2. It's xfce's similarity to Gnome2, which makes xfce applicable as a resort to them. > That's the open source way. Don't like Gnome 3?

Alternatively, the Gnome folks finally start listening to their users and bring back the old look'n'feel and at least some its functionalties.
