I think the proportion is more realistically 2 haters who moved to xfce/mate, 1 who likes it and 5 people who shook their head in shame and went straight back to Windows or OSX. Edit: just to back my point up; most of the people who I have seen who have tried to move to Linux have done a relatively sharpish 180 when the UI pokes them in the eye (gnome or unity)

That's all anecdotal evidence. Most people that I know use GNOME 3 which is then followed by Cinnamon and Xfce. I know only one KDE 4 user. If GNOME 3 didn't exist, I wouldn't be using Linux on the desktop.

  Have you read the Gnome usability testing documents? That's a collection of anecdotes and assumptions far larger than mine.
