> Easy. Just _listen_ to _objectively_ argued complaints. Ignore the rest.

So when the Gnome Devs attempt to do that by telling people to stick to technical issues in bugtracks and filter blog posts don't go around accusing them of purposely filtering input to create some sort of isolation bubble of positive feedback.

I think you may have confused a few posters here. I never accused anyone of doing that.

However, I do think that many Gnome developers do not accept or listen to valid, objective and constructive criticism of real usability issues they introduced in version 3.

The feedback cycle is pretty broken, for sure; in multiple ways. It's often hard to extract signal from noise, and in the end, not everyone can be happy.

The most important thing, cheesy as it sounds, is just to try to stay constructive.
