You are being self contradictory. If you don't have any hard numbers,
you cannot actually claim a majority at all and yes, finding hard
numbers is difficult if not impossible and doesn't really translate into
usability anyway. I wouldn't blame you for this. The real problem is
that we haven't yet figured out a good community centric approach to
usability though many different people are trying. Even in cases, where
there some acclaimed usability tests behind a particular change, many
Linux users still felt the changes were all wrong. One example is the
Slab menu or the new KDE 4 default menu. In the end, all that you have
accomplished is to note again, that the Linux community has strong and
sometimes deeply conflicting view points and aren't afraid to express
them but I think, most of us are already aware of that.
