Of course, a lot of us stopped using GNOME at the GNOME 2 transition 
because all that nice simplicity made it impossible for us to work the way 
we were used to: the configurability we were relying on had vanished, and 
we had to work the way the GNOME devs wanted us to.

Given how rarely the control panel gets used (personally I get my settings 
just right and then change them very occasionally), a bit of clutter in 
there, in exchange for extra configurability, is more than worth it.

And to a lot of us Gnome before 2.4 or so (including 1.x stuff) was a unstable and/or
confusing mess that was nearly unusable.
