The meat of which is advertorial for people paying you to mention them.
Fucking grow a spine.
This is why it's interesting that the people who pay the bills are finally calling "bullshit" on the devs' idiot ideas. Red Hat largely didn't care because their market is basically command-line; but GNOME 3 sucked hard enough that their paying customers were displeased.
If it is possible for a new desktop to be better than its predecessor, then it is possible for it to be worse.
The users largely hate GNOME 3. Therefore, it has failed user acceptance testing. It is worse than its predecessor.

We left because of Oracle buying Sun, but when we moved to Ubuntu VMs we discovered they were ridiculously faster (turns out when you're running a pile of Java, it's actually all about the bogoMIPS), and if we'd realised just how much faster we'd have moved earlier.
till it's merged into Google Plus to artificially inflate G+'s claimed user numbers.
Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
