Steady releases does not mean that the system progresses steadily. 2.16 was quite boring as far as "progress" is considered.

It's true, functionally wise 2.16 is boring, but personally appreciate the fact that it feels more and more mature and stable. You feel that even the smallest details are getting looked at and everything is steadily polished.

This is obviously not to say that Gnome is perfect or that it doesn't miss features, but I like this "solid" feeling it gives to me.
