Luckily most people know how and where to put their criticism in a way that actually shapes software rather than de-motivates those developing it. It would be very much desirable if we could demotivate those who destruct major software projects. Unfortunately it is impossible.
That's funny :D On a more serious note, you have to look at the bright side of things. While it is a major inconvenience for many to deal with the changes in GNOME3, and as I, a good number of people choose not to deal with the changes and switch to a different DE, there are innovations in GNOME3 which will be attractive to a group of users. Further, I'd say, for users mostly using a browser and a few other programs now and then, GNOME3 might improve their desktop experience. Of course a good number of those people could happily live with Chromebooks as well. In the end the GNOME community decided that this is the way they see the future of the DE. This works for some, and not for others, and that part is exactly the same as it was before. GNOME2 work for some and not for others. It is great that we have maintainers in the openSUSE project that provide choices other than the two major desktops that are integrated very well, Xfce, LXDE....
