Thanks Andreas - well said, and the right question to ask.

There was a section of the Workstation PRD that mentioned research and user-surveys.  I understand that everyone here, especially developers and maintainers, are extremely busy people.  I would then suggest the creation of a small research team dedicated to exploring these questions and collecting data for analysis.

Such data would be extremely valuable to the Workstation WG and this type of research would help to begin answering these questions in a meaningful and objective way.

If anyone is interested in forming a Workstation Research group please let me know and I would like to discuss this further...

I agree. If there's an upstream thread or bug, I'll add a mix of color geek opinion and observed facts about this. I'd slot the problem as "non-death by 1000 cuts" in that the problem seems really minor like it's just a polish concern, and not a reason to not use GNOME, but it probably does adversely impact workflow efficiency.
