This is exactly what we do, every month. We have 10 people who don't know Ubuntu sit down and try to achieve some key tasks. The sessions are usually videotaped, and we observe and ask a lot of questions. So I can definitively tell you that people are more successful on those tasks with 11.10 than they were with 11.04, and that was better than 10.10. I don't get everything I want with Ubuntu. Neither will you, or anybody else. That's the nature of it. To make this into a celebrity issue is simply wasteful. It really isn't worth it. This is not a contest of wills. This is not about forcing one persons idea over another. This is about measuring what works for people off the street, just as you describe, and deciding to focus on those things done that way. For every option we add, we add a burden for every single user. The bar is high, and this issue simply does not get over the bar. There is a substantial constructive community that is actively building ubuntu and unity every day. You can choose whether you want to be part of that, or to shoot from the sidelines. What you choose says a lot more about you than it does about me or anybody else in the project.
