I have been quite satisfied with Gnome 2 in Squeeze, but as a testing
user i tried the new shiny GNOME 3 for a month when it came out in
unstable/experimental and was quite shocked of the non-usability,

As Worrier Poet already has written. A lot of us dropped KDE4 and GNOME3
at the time, they changed their policies. I first switched from KDE3 to
