When GNOME did its version 3 and Ubuntu came up with Unity, the popularity of Linux Mint sky-rocketed, because they stuck with GNOME 2.32. The Mint team has been working on their next version for a while now, and today, they first unveiled what they're working on. There's good news - the team is working on making GNOME 3 likeable. Their question for this release: "How do we make people like Gnome 3? And what do we provide as an alternative to those who still do not want to change?"

I'm a big Gnome 2 user but with the changes going on, I guess I may need to find another environment to use. I'm currently using Mageia 1 with Gnome 2 and recently installed Salix OS with Xfce4. I must say I haven't used xfce in quite awhile and it is looking very good and fast. I just may switch to that on all distros I use from now on. I have tried Gnome 3 livecd and imho, it is not too bad.
