What's your problem? And what do you mean the Gnome website looks too
"commercial". I don't see any ads on the website. I don't see any
self-promoting press-releases about products not due for another year.
I don't see *anything* being sold. If by commercial you mean "polished 
and non-amateurish", then of course I want the website to look commercial.
Or would you rather it looked amateurish, perhaps even cartoony? :-0

I'm not in charge of the Gnome Website design, but I can say that your
critism had nothing in it that could be of any help to the design team.
Please be more specific.

As for the slogan, as I've said before, it never is 100% true nor 100%
about a product/company. It's meant to catch people's ears, not be
a product/company description. And someone please correct me if I'm
mistaken, but isn't Gnome's ultimate goal to "make computing easy, both 
for end-users and developers"?
