Well, this type of comment was around since long ago where OSS community seem to complain about Window$ weakness and bad portion. However, until today Window$ still conquer the highest majority of world market share. Why? Because they know how to attract ordinary users that don't care about the good or bad design principal of OS or its application. What is more important to them is the usability aspect.
So if Gnome want to get the higher market share, being the best Desktop Environment won't do but the improvment on usability and consistency will contribute a lot. (Well maybe somebody will tell me "you want it you do it by your self"). For me I'll switch back to Gnome if its can give a better approach compared to KDE.
I also recommend everyone to try Equinox Desktop Environment at http://ede.sourceforge.net/. I still love the look of KDE and Gnome compared to it but the speed and GUI concept impressed me very much.
