The fact is a lot of gnome2 users switched to KDE or XFCE when gnome3 came out. Another fact is current gnome3 users complain a lot about nautilus changes. This just proves how stupid some developers are and this proves they want to make Ubuntu life harder.

Do you grasp the fact that Ubuntu does not ship GNOME3 as its default desktop?
It might explain why your post has caused so much unintentional hilarity.

The talk was about Gnome2 if you didn't notice. Gnome3 is the least popular environment compared to KDE and Unity.

The "talk" was:
> Thanks to Ubuntu gnome become quite important, but it seems

How can you argue that "thanks to Ubuntu gnome become quite important [sic]" when Ubuntu doesn't ship GNOME3 by default? Similarly, how can you argue that "Ubuntu developers life" will become a nightmare because of GNOME3? Have you heard of this thing called Unity? That is what Ubuntu developers are working on, not GNOME3.
Have you even used GNOME3, or are you just using Unity without knowing the difference? This is a serious question.

Ubuntu had been shipping (by default) a somewhat polished version of GNOME2 for a long time. And yes, that helped GNOME's popularity.
