Today's xkcd is relevant---"every change breaks someone's workflow"

For the record, I found Gnome3 a little baffling initially, but then 
grew to like it. At first I missed my icon shortcuts in the top bar, 
etc.  On the other hand, I liked the fact that I could find applications 
  by just typing their name, rather than hunting through pop-up menu 
hierarchies---I realized that in G2 I ran many GUI apps from term 
windows. Overall, the annoyance factor was about the same as when I lost 
my G2 configuration, which happened a couple of times due to reinstalls 
and G2 bugs that required removing ~/.gnome2

 From what I hear that was a common experience: a sigh, something 
gained, something lost, no big deal overall. I am sure there were more 
conservative people who were more upset, to the extent that they may 
have switched to another system, but the flip side of it is that those 
likely to switch switched already so no big migrations in the future.
