Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)Posted Nov 10, 2011 20:34 UTC (Thu) by drag (subscriber, #31333)In reply to: Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register) by cmm Parent article: Why GNOME refugees love Xfce (Register)
Horsecrap.
People used Gnome 2 and got used to using it for the specific reason that it didn't change much. Over and over again Gnome released update after update and improvement after improvement, but kept the API consistent and did not make any dramatic changes to the UI.
In fact I am willing to bet that the same people crapping all over Gnome now are the same people that crapped all over Gnome for NOT making significant changes in between versions and not keeping up with other desktops.
So it's entirely unsurprising that people that choose to use Gnome 2 for it's stability are not happy with a huge change.
But Gnome devs are still Gnome devs and their attitudes have not changed much since the early Gnome 2 days. So I expect that after the dust settles and Gnome 3 increases in capabilities and saneness that they will be back.

That fails even the most basic sanity test:
1. We are currently seeing enormous numbers of people complaining now
[0] Or any people to speak of. Care to cite some examples of people complaining about Gnome *not* making changes? Can you manage, say, three examples?
