I don't think we can know the total number of people commenting on Gnome
3. Even if we could, we have no way of knowing the total number of
people using Gnome 3, or what they think of it. People who go online to
comment are only representative of themselves.
I'd rather all developers pay little attention to anecdotal user
comments and rely, instead, on focused, organized, professional user
testing efforts. Those are rare in FOSS because developers often don't
like to do things like that.
So your argument is that developers should focus on the feedback that is
rare to the point of non-existence instead of the feedback that is
arguable to be unreliable?
