Very true, which is all the more interesting given how lax MacOS has
historically been at providing keyboard navigation (until OSX, at
least).  Which begs an equally important question of whether it's
popular because people want to use it, or because they have to due to a
lack of mouse equivalents.

They may not be using nautilus, but as long as we choose to ship
gnome-terminal as part of our core desktop, they're certainly still
using GNOME.
