This was one of the more extreme cases though:

- GNOME 3 was very different from GNOME 2. It had no appeal to 
their existing users.
- GNOME users were told that GNOME 2 was dead so they had to 
"upgrade".
- There was little advance warning that it would be so different.

These factors combined to make the vast majority of GNOME users 
very upset and very vocal. I'm a happy MATE user today but I had 
to switch to KDE for a while until that became a realistic option.
