To me the new website still doesn't convey what GNOME is. It is better
than the previous one, which used really abstract terminology, in
that it prominently features a laptop running GNOME. However, just
saying that it is "an easy and elegant way to use your computer", or
that it "has been designed from the ground up to help you have the
best possible computing experience" is still vague.
When I go to "learn more", I see some nice screenshots and text, but
it still expects my to read between the lines to figure out that GNOME
is a client side OS (or a desktop environment for the more technically
savvy) for laptops and desktops.
