Fedora 15 is a lot like Windows OS's.. irritating, offensive, difficult to use with ease, nauseating to try...

Fedora 15 is the first real outing for GNOME 3.  Most people, perhaps
understandably, don't want to spend much of their lives experimenting
with alpha operating systems just in case the developers do something
they don't like.  Clearly there are, for many people, severe usability
problems with GNOME 3.  I hope that the GNOME developers will make good
use of this feedback.
