Its one thing to add tablet/phone ("metro") mode - its another to make laptops (or desktops) much more difficult to use.
You should stop and think about how 'ego-centric' your remarks are. "We" on this mailing list hardly represent the great "unwashed" mass of computer (computer like device) users.
I could probably produce on short notice say about 20 'users' who do not agree with you. And these masses keep the manufacturers (Dell, Lenovo, etc) in business, not us. A lot of them will have little difficulty adapting to Unity/Gnome 3
And all these other 'changes' making laptops much more difficult to use, such as say - UEFI - the 16:9 format of the screens I don't hear you fulminating against these.
And have you stopped to think what a "computer" (desktop/laptop) might look like in say 20 years time.
