   You're lucky. Not everyone's experience is the same.

   GNOME haters is a big club. Do you know how many new DEs were created when   
   GNOME3 arrived? I've never used MacOS but as I understand it Apple people   
   are right at home. GNOME2 was bad enough,   
      
   I'll come right out and say it. I want a DE to look like Windows XP or   
   Windows 7, not something that belongs on a phone or tablet.
