Well it is important to note that these usability studies where done by the GNOME community itself through the Outreachy program, with the explicit goal of being able to optimize the UI design. And from what I can tell having lurked in #gnome-design on Gimpnet they discuss the design decisions all the time, and continually try to refine the user interface. That said I am all in favour of people getting involved and pushing new designs and code on behalf of Fedora, but I don't think we are at a place where we can seriously considering doing a major fork of anything here.
