I agree with you completely, but the Gnome devs are apparently pushing to 
prove us wrong... :-)

However, as a happy KDE user I don't have to worry about the Gnome devs. Btw, 
you reminded me of that common saying, "build a system that even an idiot can 
use, and only idiots will use it", which may give people a bit of perspective 
on the route Gnome is taking... ;-)

Best, :-)
