The Grumpy Editor's GNOME 3 experience

One thing I'm still wondering about: was there any usability testing (*actual* testing with *actual* users) done after the testing SUN did in 2001? I've googled (not for long, slooooow 'net here), and I've just found some beginning planning for it from early 2010.

Mind you, even back then... oh no, I'll not rant about it, I could, but won't. Just this: GNOME and Usability is a crazy, weird, and a lost cause.
