I am confident that it is possible to find an acceptable method of
gathering user input. For example, it seems that any web site becomes
surprisingly popular (for a while) after being slashdotted, Gnome 3
user interface being a very interesting topic. Additionally, I
wouldn't be surprised if a large number of gnome users can be caught
by visiting gnome-shell extension site.

Important question is that are design goals aligned with what most
users want. If this is true, then your statement should be generally
true. The concern is the heavy critique that the gnome-shell is
receiving.
