And isn't flexibility what Linux is all about?  People get their 
knickers in a twist when things change.  I've been saying this since 
GNOME 3 was announced:  The developers are trying to capture some of 
those wanting to leave Windows but want a 'belt and suspenders' approach 
to running it.  In other words, we have ID10T Windows users who want to 
leave it behind, sometimes for the perceived safety of Linux.  Well, 
give them what they want and let those of us who know how to break and 
fix Linux to a more fun and functional interface.
