It seems the overwhelming majority does not like Gnome 3. I wonder why the
creators of Gnome 3 did not
conduct similar polls before.

Not quite sure what you mean by your question. How can one conduct a
poll about something to gain people's reaction to it before it is
actually made available for use? But I suspect that you meant something
different when you asked your question :-) .
I meant asking people about what changes do they like.

Ah, I thought so.


But, I am not sure that that is what that poll is indicating. What it
shows is that most people do NOT USE it and not that they do not like
Gnome 3. Only a tiny percentage (1.79%) stated that they did not like
using it - unless you include the 114 voters (14.65%) who indicated that
they did try it but switched over to another DE and the 27 (3.47%) who
are still using it and would like to switch but cannot get off their
backsides to switch to another DE :-) .
Just compare the number of those who likes it and who does not like.

Most interesting. Since your post, and my look at the results, some 41 people voted (?because of your post?).

Well, irrespective of whether the poll questions and results are in Russian or translated into, say, English, they still show that only some 19.90% of the respondents can be regarded as having some knowledge of Gnome 3 and have reacted to it by either switching to other DE, thinking about switching or not happy using it.

49.45% of those who voted simply don't use it.

But it doesn't mean that they don't like it - it simply shows that they do not use it.

18.19% (149) simply don't care about it, and 5.13% (42) don't even know what Gnome 3 is.
