I gave GNOME3 a bunch of time. It's not the amount of time you give it, it's your desktop telling you how you should use a computer (20 years after an established practice has long since made that impossible with only 1% of the market share to begin with), rather than targeting a tablet release. I'll leave the rest of it - I've long since made my views about GNOME3 known - but please don't go saying 2 weeks will change everything. It doesn't :)

So it did not work for 20 years ... why change it? Don't follow your logic.

Sorry but I don't buy the "post-pc" crap. Tablets and smartphones have their use and place. (I do have a smartphone but don't see a need for a tablet) But they are *not* pc replacements.

Cars do outsell planes but this does not make them appropriate replacements.
