You indeed disagree. That happens. :)

I'm not saying a simple and newbie-friendly Gnome is a bad thing, in general... but I am not a minister, grandma or computer-ignorant user, and I need to get my work done too. If (since?) Gnome starts catering mostly to newbie users and Ximian focusses primarily on business users (BDM's and other management types), I wonder what will happen to opensource zealots, programmers, sysadmins and webdesigners who like a more complex, flexible and less fool-proof machine.

I like features, complexity (if well implemented) and flexibility; it allows me to work much faster.

I feel many 'experienced' users are a bit left out, in all this newbies!-lets-target-the-masses or lets-go-for-the-corporate-accounts; and I just really wanted to point that out here.

Ofcourse, nothing counts for everybody, and your opinion is just as valid as mine... But I do use a lot of 'all that crap', and would hate to see it go. :)
