Actualy i am currently running both the 1.4 and the 2.0 desktop, 
switching to and fro for bug hunting and testing, but doing my day-job 
under 1.4. It does conflict with a few application names (gedit is 
replaced, so is nautilus and a few others) but for the most part its a 
perfect parrallel installed system.
Even where apps were not renamed to there ...-2 counterpart, a lot of 
names did change (gdict / gnome-dictionary, etc), so a lot of those apps 
do not conflict either. Only gnome-games is a hard conflict with its 1.4 
version, but to me thats no biggy for my day-to-day job. Also gnomecc 
_and_ gnome2-control-panel (with theme selectors and all) is working 
perfectly side by side.
I would personaly hate to see a situation where we contiously make this 
work less instead of more.
Just my 0.2 Euro cents
