There is a factor here that if someone doesn't want to adapt their
practices - then any new interface is going to be clumsy.  I found GNOME
Shell awkward for about two weeks,

There is simply no doubt that GNOME Shell has greater keyboard
accessibility, and improved accessibility over all.  Accessibility is
now a first-class citizen - even with an accessibility icon right on the
top bar.
