GNOME3? I'm surprised to hear that. My (perhaps inaccurate) 
understanding was that it landed with quite a thud and alienated a lot 
of its userbase (and even many of it's developers), moreso than the 
early days of KDE4 did. And I've never personally known anyone who did 
use GNOME3 (to my knowledge), so I figured it had become very much fringe.
