Great points. If we didn't have change and innovation we'd all still be
using 80x25 monochrome text mode terminals.
Things change, it's part of computers (and everything else). So
when F15
came out, I decided to let go of my old ways of working and try to
understand the logic and flow of Gnome 3. Now I love it, and get
frustrated back on Gnome2 machines.
Also, Linux is all about choice. Gnome 3 is what it is. You are welcome
to use KDE, XFCE, Ubuntu's Ubiquity or any one of the numerous other
window managers and/or distros.
+1 to all of the above. The system is flexible enough that users can go
to another desktop environment, or mix and match what's there, without
giving up the whole OS.
If your work is completely tied to a single implementation of one version
of a desktop environment then I think you might be doing it wrong...
