I am providing a datapoint that directly contradicts your original
statement, namely that there is a "completely different target
audience" for GNOME 2 vs GNOME 3.

I am that datapoint.

I know that it is my anecdata, but I am pretty sure that I have not yet
read any actual facts supporting your side of the argument as well.

Furthermore I am pretty sure that I am not the only one enjoying GNOME
3, while having enjoyed GNOME 2, having read the other posts in this
thread.

Hopefully that is clearer, regards,
