For the record, I found Gnome3 a little baffling initially, but then
grew to like it. At first I missed my icon shortcuts in the top bar,
etc. On the other hand, I liked the fact that I could find applications
by just typing their name, rather than hunting through pop-up menu
hierarchies---I realized that in G2 I ran many GUI apps from term
windows. Overall, the annoyance factor was about the same as when I lost
my G2 configuration, which happened a couple of times due to reinstalls
and G2 bugs that required removing ~/.gnome2
From what I hear that was a common experience: a sigh, something
gained, something lost, no big deal overall. I am sure there were more
conservative people who were more upset, to the extent that they may
have switched to another system, but the flip side of it is that those
likely to switch switched already so no big migrations in the future.
