"Easy to use" is very subjective.  If you don't believe me, ask  
10,000 people if a given GNOME app is easy to use or not, and then  
tell me which objective measure will pick out the wrong answers from  
the right ones.

I think it's very important for everyone involved in some form of  
Linux desktop thought-leadership (even people like myself who have no  
leadership role whatsoever, and are just ISV reps) to step away from  
"I would like".  You and I are not interesting GNOME users, in part  
because we already _are_ GNOME users.  The interesting GNOME users  
are the ones that haven't tried it yet, and we need to figure out why  
they haven't.  There are lots of things that I want in GNOME, but if  
they aren't going to bring a hundred thousand of my closest friends  
along as well, I would hope that nobody goes out of their way to do  
them.
