The actual problem is the current Gnome 3 being an entirely different product than Gnome 2, which usability-wise has *nothing* in common with Gnome2 and addresses a completely different target audience.
Ralf, could you please stop this generalization. You have been conveniently ignoring posts to the contrary, including mine.
Sorry, I don't see what I am generalizing.
Gnome3 and Gnome2's GUI working principles are entirely different and therefore are catering the demands of different target audiences. They are similarly different as WinXP and Android are different in their GUIs' working principles.
I can not help you if do not understand what I am talking about.
Ralf
I am providing a datapoint that directly contradicts your original statement, namely that there is a "completely different target audience" for GNOME 2 vs GNOME 3.
I am that datapoint.
I know that it is my anecdata, but I am pretty sure that I have not yet read any actual facts supporting your side of the argument as well.
Furthermore I am pretty sure that I am not the only one enjoying GNOME 3, while having enjoyed GNOME 2, having read the other posts in this thread.
Hopefully that is clearer, regards,
