Gnome 2.6 Usability Review 424
TuringTest writes ""The user-centric UI webzine" UserInstinct has published a usability overview of the latest version of the GNOME desktop. While their conclusions and recommendations are not mind-blowing, it includes two interesting appendices with a survey of new users (and their reactions to the system) and a list of common tasks of modern computer users with a commentary on how Gnome performs in each one. Note that usually You Only Need to Test With 5 Users (this report tests 4), you need to test additional users when an interface has several highly distinct groups of users and thus the conclusions in this review should not be taken as definitive."

What you have is: the safe choice to the left; the unsafe choice to the right; and other, less frequent choices in between.

Not to mention his posts on osnews as ogalaxyo gave me the impression that he was a 12 year old kid who simply hasn't figured out how things work yet.
