I can't believe real usability testing was done on the final version
of GNOME 3.  I keep hearing about all these completely undiscoverable
keyboard shortcuts that appear to be necessary to use GNOME 3 with any
sort of effectiveness.  When I struggled with GNOME 3 for about a week
I didn't discover or use any keyboard shortcuts.
