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. Just compare those who expressed dislike to Gnome 3 and those who liked it. You can not to count those who does not use it.
Ilya (may I call you Ilya?) you have looked at the results of the poll and understand how statistics work? I don't mean any offence in any way, but I think that you should provide the figures on which you base your comments. After all I provided my set of figures to support what I stated and now it is time for you to quote what you understand the figures are to support your conclusion. Just as an explanation of why I am asking and pressing this point is: your continued insistence on using the term "who expressed dislike to Gnome 3". At this moment there are 19 voters out of 933 (again jumped in the past hours!) who reply to the specific and direct question that they are using it but don't like it. All other votes are ambiguous and do not state that they "dislike" - as you claim - Gnome 3. As I already stated, one can write poll questions in a way to get the result which you want. In other words, if the questions are not correctly worded then you get the wrong or inconclusive answers - which is the case in this poll you brought to our attention. The translation from the original Russian worded poll to English is accurate - but the questions are still open to misinterpretation and leading to ambiguous answers.
