In this case, after having followed the thread, I have to side with Linus on this one. Simplicity and flexibility are two different, yet un-opposing concepts. Gnome has sacrificed flexibility, and thus a more universal appeal, by imposing simplicity and elegance as opposed to functionality and flexibility as its guiding principles.

I'm not convinced your statement is correct and most of the UI research seems to back me up.

Flexibility != more universal appeal.

The majority of people prefer a simpler interface with more obvious choices. Even I fall into that camp.
