I agree. Most users are not interested in understanding/testing the new UI concepts introduced in Gnome 3. It cannot be "the default wm" anymore. This is a very diplomatic way to say it.

Better graphics are great, but it's hard to believe that nVidia or Valve will release open source software that can be installed/tested/bugrepported through a package manager. This is a big lose for stability and usability. Fetching untes

What about sorting algorithms? Do you think it's a waist of time to teach them just because it is a solved problem? I don't think so, I think reinventing the wheel is a great way to learn.
