I'll go farther than that: when I "upgraded" my laptop to F16, the first 
time I logged in it defaulted to Gnome instead of Xfce for some reason. 
  As soon as I saw what had happened, I logged back out and tried again, 
making sure I selected the proper DE.  That's the closest I've ever come 
to trying Gnome 3.  From all I've read about it, it doesn't do what I 
want and would force me to do things in ways I don't like.  Thus, I'm 
not part of the target audience.

And, I'm not ranting about Gnome 3 itself, I'm objecting to the apparent 
attitude of the Gnome devs as they seem to be completely indifferent to 
what anybody who's not a dev wants.  If you like Gnome 3, great; use it 
and be happy.  I'm just pointing out that nobody's forcing anybody to 
use it who doesn't like it.
