Nowadays Gnome is pretty much a social experiment on how many features you
can remove from old users before they switch and the contributions they
made to the project dry out.

It's interesting to read people claim there is absolutely no problem, user
experience will be enhanced by a simpler desktop, when (for example) at
the same time Gnome browsers sink into obscurity and are replaced by
Firefox.

Seems actual "basic" users would rather cope with the warts of a
non-native app than experience the full Gnome simplicity.
