I recently gave GNOME another try and I'm still dissapointed at the fact that I can still crash it within 10 mins of usage with the same steps I reported in 2004 (ie: 5 years ago).
The arrogant pricks closed the bug reports with "that is not how you are supposed to this" and other "stupid user" remarks instead of actually fixing the bug. Guess what, 5 years later I can still crash GNOME with the same simple steps. And when I say crash, it is the RED screen of death.
On top of that, GNOME still fails miserably at usability (for example, having the Cancel button, a high priority button on the left and away from the mouse is idiotic) and the developers still have the problem of deleting instead of fixing. If one of their tools or feature has problems and is not in their cool list, they just erase it from the next update and people are left wondering what happen to the tool/feature they got used to.
