Average users/people often accept a UI.
I think it's the bulk of the people on this list (admins/power users) that
try to tweak our user interface (and servers) to the max.
Nobody should spend nearly a month fiddling with a UI ... isn't there work
to be done?
Besides this is CentOS (stable) we're talking about, not Fedora Rawhide
(unstable/bleeding ... possibly prone to breakage) ... so the system is
stable+usable even if it doesn't suit one's tastes.

Easily fixed by using browser windows. I'd be willing to bet that this is
one of those "tweaks" many people make when they installed older Fedora
versions and CentOS versions. :)

Gnome3 isn't that bad if you give it a chance.
(Sort of like KDE 3.5 to KDE 4.x ... people complained incessantly and
eventually just accepted it and moved on.)
Gnome3 lacks the status bar items I enjoyed (without installing
plugins/addons) which were immediately available in a default Gnome2
install. But that's easily remedied if you don't like the plain user
interface. Not that it matters, but Debian Wheezy defaults to a Gnome3
user interface.
Some people are resistant to change - I am to a degree.
Hopefully they can accept Gnome3's Classic Mode or adjust to using XFCE.
<sarcasm>
And for those that don't want to upgrade, there's always CentOS 5 and 6
which will be available from vault.centos.org ;)

Please no flame wars. :D
** Contact Red Hat and request they package MATE if you really want
something that looks like Gnome2. **
