Being one of these long time Linux users, I won't deny there is some truth in what you say. The bigger question is if Gnome 3 is actual progress or an "epic fail"? When being presented Gnome 3, my feeling were the same as I had when my then-3-year-old nice had proudly presented me here "flying horse".
