This assumes that the choice of desktop is a purely rational one. It is not. People are different. Gnome 3 crowd implemented Gnome 3 Shell to *their* own liking. It makes sense to *them*. Apparently they did not consider that a large group of users was quite happy with Gnome 2 desktop and did not need any revolutionary reshuffling in that area. They don't listen to our arguments. It's like talking to a wall. I only hear endless "try it for a week, you'll like it" and "its the progress, stupid". I think such attitude towards your user base is arrogant and ultimately self-harming: users *will* change to alternatives with less arrogant developer team. And I will not hesitate to recommend that route to anyone who is pissed off by Gnome 3 Shell disaster of the UI design. > I have a lot years invested in Gnome, helped fix many bugs by diligently > reporting problems, chasing traces etc. Don't want to throw all that > away just because one aspect of one program is not done right.
