I don't think this link is really wrong here. The target discusses the closely related issue. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:07, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
I've removed the link again. I would consider it a POV, because it's debatable whether people reject GNOME 3 because they are used to traditional desktops, or because it is actually less usable. I can't say objectively which is better (after all it's different for everyone) but I don't think Wikipedia should be choosing a side by including that link, thereby suggesting that people who don't like GNOME 3 are just stuck in their traditional way of working.

There's nothing of value on this page except a few people freaking out over change and a few scattered opinions. It's existence seems like more of an attempt to slander the competition than anything. Even Linus Torvalds has since gone back to using GNOME ("with some extensions").
Sure, there was some controversy, but this page is hollow and utterly uninteresting. There's no Wikipedia articles for "controversy over Ubuntu Unity" or "controversy over Windows 8", despite both of them receiving an equal or greater amount of negative reception.
Request this flimsy article be deleted or (partially) merged into the GNOME article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.240.245 (talk) 10:07, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
IIRC there was a press release on LWN recently, confirming that GNOME have explicitly said they are dropping the fallback mode completely. This should be mentioned in the fallback section of the article. (I'd do it myself but ICBF digging up the reference.) 02:34, 21 November 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.7.155.73 (talk)
This article was initially created as a staging area for an ongoing (back then) controvercy over GNOME 3 release. Now, that the issue settled down, I propose to merge the material back into GNOME § GNOME 3. Of course this article has to be compressedand in order to balance its weight after merger. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 00:00, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
After reading the article it is not clear to me, whether the controversy is about the GNOME Shell or the GNOME GUI, i.e. the GUI widgets in GTK+ (some where deprecated, some deleted and a couple of new ones have been added. Fact is, that while KDE Plasma provides multiple UXes for the different screen sizes and input methods, GNOME Shell targets them all. User:ScotXWt@lk 19:25, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
