I've been using Gnome 3 from the start, and (after a few weeks of feeling totally lost) I now love it. But my opinion doesn't count...

Oh, you don't exist. You're a fabrication in the minds of the GNOME 3 developers, probably invented and made real on this comment thread alone using the same mystic space alien technology they used to fake the moon landings and the discovery of 'America'. This time, the technology is being fuelled by a bonfire of features stripped out of GNOME 3. It's amazingly efficient: the removal of only one major popular feature can power *dozens* of vonbrand postings.
(Assuming anything else would be conspiratorial madness. And yes, there really are some people who espouse the belief that the American continent doesn't exist!)

You see? Other people admit it too! Though their attempt to blow the lid off the conspiracy is *ruined* by it not being sung in proper American English!
:P

Oh I'd say your opinion counts... as a reason NOT to make GNOME3 a default.
I manage labs used by library patrons. GNOME2 looks like what they expect a computer to look like. Could you imagine what would happen if I rolled out GNOME3 and then started telling the shocked and outraged people "oh, don't worry. In a couple of weeks of intensive use you will learn to love it."

That's my main gripe with how the GNOME 3 story has evolved. Not that they try something different and shiny, but that
1. they make it the default, and 2. the old option is discontinued. And the implication that GNOME developers do NOT care much of their user's needs. That's OK if you are doing something for yourself, but when you contribute to a project that so many people rely on, you need a different attitude.
