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.
