yes i agree to many of your points.

but please don't forget that there is also KDE as alternative to GNOME
and GNOME right now goes through some 'un-usability' madness which makes
it strange to use because things are done much more differently than
necessary.

well in case to get all flames back from angry developers and users. but
i think KDE will make the future at least on linux like systems. my
assume is that gnome is doing a good job on getting people off of their
desktop idea because of trying to make things MORE DIFFERENTLY than
necessary. i don't want to start over this again but to give an example
is the 'button re-ordering' thing that i hate more than anything else.
no matter how good the technology behind is. some little thing is enough
to make the rest look worse.

people tend to like context of other peoples opinion:
