No, but I think the controversy around GNOME 3 is of a different order
from what we've seen before.  This is not just the usual bunch of
complaints.

When Linus Torvalds says "I want my sane interfaces back. I have yet
to meet anybody who likes the unholy mess that is gnome-3" the problem
has to be taken seriously.  (It's not just Linus, but he's a leading
developer who represents the views of many developers.)
