The point wasn't ever how many dislike Gnome 3 (or KDE 4, or XFCE, or...). As long as there are those who like it (there sure are, the people developing them aren't doing it for mercenary reasons; plus many others), the environments will march on.

BTW, count me in the "I like Gnome 3 better than Gnome 2" camp.

Otte: staring into the abyss

An environment progressively losing users, developers, focus and resources won't be "marching on" for a long time. The only way to have a "bright future for Gnome", to quote the GUADEC presentation, is to realize that the current path is wrong and see how better to adjust it (note that I didn't say "revert": the days of Gnome 2.x are surely over, and there's MATE for those who can't do without it, surely it doesn't make sense to throw away the baby with the bath water).
