As a user I looked at the websites and was dreading GNOME3.  And at
first it was "how the $#@*@( do I do anything?!?!".  After a week or
so.... I'd never go back.  So the initial-shock factor is very much at
play here, IMNSHO.

I really honestly can't image anyone would choose *NOT* to use the new
features.  If they don't help the user.... I have no clue what the user
is doing [and there seems to be a group that doesn't actually *USE* a
desktop/computer - they just fiddle with it and tweak things].
