It's not that stuff has merely changed. It's that the stuff
has changed,
major parts of existing functionality were removed without having any
functional replacements
There is no arguing that the new GNOME 3 is a significant change. But what you had with
GNOME 2 was a result of about a decade of development. You want the same user experience,
the same functionality today while it takes months to port all the stuff that you may not
even know is to stay in GNOME. I wonder, when the GNOME 2 came out, was it something
largely accepted.
and every time someone points this out, they're
told that they're too stupid to know what's good for them, and this is The
Better Way.
I think you're exaggerating. Noone from the GNOME project could have actually told you
that.
Gnome 3 came without any kind of a sensors CPU widget.
GNOME 3 is much more extensible than any other previous version of GNOME, it is made to
receive many kinds of extensions AND IT WILL.

And scrapping all your old computers because they don't have
magic video
cards for visual cruft is not in the cards.
Old hardware receives the classic user experience in the form of fallback mode. But if you
want the exact GNOME 2 with no option to compromise, the attitude you may receive may
simply become your payback.

...and I daresay any such _Linux_ distribution won't go very
far, when
its fearless leader has such a low opinion of _Linus_.
I absolutely undrestand that you like Linus. But don't you forget that Linus is a long
time KDE user, and that's a different view on user interface and usability. We love
GNOME for being GNOME unless switch DE easily and stop complaining. Knowing that Linus
likes to troll both developers and users from time to time, it's funny to see the
adherents of ye olde GNOME coming up with the quotes to support their point of view,
especially when those are rather positive.

It takes a certain personality profile to be able to
use Fedora successfully. Most notably the ability to embrace new technologies,
the ability to put up with occasional rough edges, and the ability to handle
steep learning curves.
That is, Fedora is the future now.
