Would anybody have time to prepare some useful survey?
Provocative question: is there any way that some unbiased survey would
change the emphasis of development from gnome-shell to the fallback mode?
And increase the configurability and so on.. Or - the current strategy is

Iirc the fallback mode is using new gtk and stuff... why is it obsolete?
I was asking looking at the anger and nostalgie expressed on phoronix.

Is this another provocative question?
It's a fallback that *by definition* uses older technologies to have
something usable on hardware that do not support

Absolutely! My question was exactly about that - is there theoretical
possibility that proper survey would amend

Phoronix is a tabloid seeking sensation.
Agree. But I guess it is not a surprise that some users are crying for good
old gnome2. If gnome could properly estimate the share of those deprived...
would it change anything?
What's stopping these deprived users from using Gnome 2.X? I don't
for too long. Usage seems to be minimal. But not a lot of distributions
have GNOME 3 yet, so it is also a bit early to tell.
Exactly. Let's wait till all distros outphase gnome 2.x

Plenty of people see it as a preference, but right now on the hardware
