I stated my opinion elsewhere on this thread: Use what works for you. That said, I do wonder how you'd like to back up your claims here? I mean - if you'd just say "Bah! Gnome 3 is a step in the wrong direction and the Gnome developers are clueless. I'm moving on" that'd be fine and cool - I guess everyone could understand reasons to do that, without neccessarily agreeing. But you - state that a 'majority' hates Gnome 3. What? Really? A 'majority' of .. which representative group? - state that Gnome developers consider their users as dumb (I .. hope I didn't misrepresent you here) That's impossible to back, insulting and quite frankly it's hard to assign a single motive to the 'Gnome developers' - argue that they lost market share for some reason Ignoring whether you're right or not (I .. tend to disagree): Why would that be important? Why do you consider 'rule the DE market' / 'be a leader in the DE market' (what market??) a worthwhile goal of the Gnome project? In my opinion they should provide one of a number of consistent desktop environments..
