I don't think: >Essentially if you don't like it then it's apparently your fault. is a fair thing to say. It's different and it's new. You CAN move to something else if you don't like it. But change cannot be held up because some people are unwilling to alter their workflow. I don't speak for GNOME in any official way. Just a commenter. And I'm not trying to be disrespectful. GNOME 3 is still maturing and I love it.
