They are going down the same path, pretty much.

There are recurrent flame wars on the Galeon mailing lists about it. In the end, the developers say that:

a) They are aiming at naive users;

b) Anyone who subscribes to the mailing list is clearly not a naive user, and thus

c) They can (and do) ignore anything written.

They claim there is a vast number of users who do not give feedback who like the dumbing-down. Of course, you can't ever find any of them, because then they aren't the normal users...

The hole in this logic is too hard for the developers to understand. Sigh.
