Hi :)
The problem was that Gnome 3 is going in this dumbed down direction anyway and with less consideration of what people actually want (outside of the Gnome gang).  I think they are unhappy with distros such as Ubuntu using and updating their code without actively maintaining it.  Unity brings control back into the Ubuntu project.

While Unity's starting point is as bad as Gnome 3's end result it is only the starting point and will evolve (hopefully) in a direction that users want rather than what programmers want.

This is not really the place for this old tired argument to flame up again.  There are plenty of other places to get involved with that.  This thread is supposed to be about getting Ubuntu and the wider Gnu&Linux more widely accepted on desktops and mobile devices.
Just my 2cents
