I'm not necessarily a fan of GNOME 3, but I became one because of how
much hate it used to get at the beginning for trying to change the way
people use their computers. People resistant change and GNOME, so I went
out of my way to use it and figure out how it worked when it was
released. I think that many of its ideas are smart ones.

I think you're right. That was definitely the object of Unity and Windows 8.
And they were both rejected by the public. To me a computer is completely
different than a smartphone or a tablet. I don't want them all to work the
same.
My younger brother, when he worked for Xircomm was sent to Redmond to try to
convince Microsoft to simplify their Windows phone software (they were
trying to cram a desktop OS into an earlier Windows phone — at least that was
the view of his bosses). Microsoft didn't want to hear it. Hubris again.
"It's our way, or the highway." It turned out to be the "highway" for
Windows phones. Ditto for Windows 8 and Unity.
