In my experience, it is actually brilliant for first impressions. I recently upgraded my parents' computer from Fedora 16 with GNOME Fallback to Fedora 18 with GNOME Shell. I had to explain quickly to my mum (a basic computer user), where her stuff was, and her first words were (about the overview) "I like this, it's much easier to know where my windows are" (she never understood the concept of the taskbar, she always thought her windows were disappearing and kept opening more) For my dad (even less skilled than my mum), I rushed to the computer yelling "waaaaait! I have to explain the new things to you!!!" and found him already doing his stuff. When I asked, he said "Oh, I guessed 'activities' was for doing stuff, so I went there and found the orange icon to go to the Internet". Both found it easier to use than GNOME 2 or GNOME 3 Fallback. Both liked it much better, from the first time they tried it. Granted, it's purely anecdata and they probably aren't the Fedora target user. But your statement was even less backed by data. ;) -- Mathieu -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
