The people that "broke" (hey, see the quotes?) the user experience you expected and liked are the people that steer the project. They are free to do that, just like any company is free to (drastically? I don't quite think that's the case here, but let's go with it) change their product.
You have some benefits, though:
- You didn't pay a dime. Sure, you might've invested time learning to use Gnome 2 to your utmost satisfaction. You might've spent a good amount of hours to configure it to your liking. The product though? You got it for free and without any contract stating that your personal workflow would work in every future version, that your preferences are important to the project goals.
- You got the source. People complain just the same about WIndows 8 and they are stuck. Unless they find a way to jump to a totally different OS or stay in the past forever, they'll have to swallow the (imo not thaaat bad) changes. Maybe they can install some workarounds. You? You can enjoy a multitude of alternatives. You don't need to move away from your favorite applications. You can even, in fact, install one of the Gnome 2 forks (think Mint etc.) and imagine that Gnome 3 never happened.
You're not without options. Posting stuff like this rant on your blog? That's not helpful. You cannot seriously believe that this will change a thing. People that don't agree with you are going to sadly shake their heads. Gnome (3) developers are not even going to _read_ your blog, based on your way to communicate.
You reach only the people that already agreed with you in the first place. I'm sure you guys could have a good time in a bar, sharing complaints about ways Gnome 3 broke the user experience for you. But .. don't even start to believe that you represent all of the Gnome user base, much less the majority.
Putting everything that obviously divides us beside: Can you explain in 2-3 sentences what you'd hope to archive with that post of yours, the way you present your arguments? Is there any serious agenda, or is that just a way to blow off steam?
