Being different does not imply different target audience ... same thing and discussion happened when GNOME 2.0 got released. Now the haters from back then want GNOME 2.0 back ;)
Gnome 2 slowly returned to the old behaviour in many ways. Gnome 3 is starting to do this.
- Some trivial stuff is taking months to years to re-implement (shut down).
Nonsense. Shutdown has always been implemented. It just got presented differently.
Hidden. On the bizarre assumption users didn't need it.
- Gnome 3 is going the I-know-better-then-you-what's-good-for-you way.
Sure by giving you an extension system that allows you to do whatever you want with the desktop ....
Is anyone doing that?
- We think Gnome 3 is doing similar type of mistake as Windows 8.
GNOME3 has nothing to do with windows 8 other than both work better on touch devices then previous releases .... supporting new hardware isn't really a bad thing imo.
And neither much contemplated that the interface that's appropriate for a mobile phone is not appropriate for a desktop. I still use Gnome 3, despite the many helpful suggestions to change. I don't find it quite as annoying as Windows 8 (where it's sometimes hard even to know how to close down an app), but I do find that: 1. I no longer use workspaces to manage different tasks unless there are lots of windows and then I sometimes overflow onto 2. This is because they're less useful as you now can't switch without going to the activities view and they aren't segregated well. At work I have a KDE desktop and use four routinely. 2. I do less with my computer. Fedora installs quite a lot of applications, some of which are interesting. Occasionally I'd spot something in a menu and think 'that's interesting', I don't do this any more.
