"Anything
worth using has a learning curve."
The ignoranti may want a UI with no learning curve, but they're not
going to get it. Even the nipple takes time for an infant to learn how
to use.
I agree with you completely, but the Gnome devs are apparently pushing to
prove us wrong... :-)
However, as a happy KDE user I don't have to worry about the Gnome devs. Btw,
you reminded me of that common saying, "build a system that even an idiot can
use, and only idiots will use it", which may give people a bit of perspective
on the route Gnome is taking... ;-)
Best, :-)
