Comment 54 for bug 771896

First, you can't create a single interface for mobile devices and desktops and who in the hell said they wanted it? MS tried and failed, and so has Ubuntu with Unity. Some things are just illogical. Second, I used to like Gnome and used it exclusively and I'm disgusted by all the downgrades and screwups. One two occasions a simple update has broken Gnome and left me scrambling to get my system repaired so I can work. So I'm going to try xfce and if I'm not feeling better about things, switch to a different Linux.
You would think with all these complaints someone would pay attention.

I would like to have someone from Gnome answer these complaints without saying "we think this is better and so do our Moms." A lot of software is ruined with the "Hey, watch this" behavior. People that want to run Unity are people who have simple needs - email, a word processor and a browser. That is not the majority of Linux users.
