I understand you do not like GNOME 3, talking about LXDE is great. But just bashing.. I don't think that is what this mailing list is for.
I don't think it is "just bashing", in the above "Classic", there was a comaprision made to another product, where consumer (End-user\Customer) experience\satisfaction killed a decision, made by some marketing\laboratory people (Producer\Upstream)
Gnome. as KDE, Lxde, Xfce, *wm are all products,
A product may cease to be available at the discretion of the producer, take Gnome2. To be replaced by what they fell is a more modern product, Gnome 3. But, to some end-users it is alien to them.
There are a number of avenues open to them: 1: Discuss changing product. 2: Complain enough, so that old product may rememerge. (Which I can garner (no pun intended), is what they want.) 3: Keep quite, and change silently.
There are also end-users who seem to like Gnome3
