I'm not sure this is "clear benefit" :)

Do you have figures for this?

I don't believe that the population of mailing lists and web 
forums is a reliable guide to who uses Gnome as a whole; nor
do I think their priorities are necessarily typical. 

And I wouldn't have thought that systems admins for offices 
and the workplace are really going to base decisions on the
next OS/environment to move to on whether you can rip music
CDs.

But if you have figures on who really uses Gnome, I'd love
to see them.
