worldofgnome.org... This must be an objective view of Gnome

Not a really good review. There is very little informaiton presented on the changes, just a few pictures with detailed comments like, "I can say that is prettier. Much prettier". The under the hood section is also lacking with no real discussion of what changes went on under the hood on this release.

One thing that bothers me a lot in Linux is font rendering. The default settings in Fedora show a "compressed" font, which makes every label looks horrible, thus Gnome looks horrible.

Apart from that, Gnome 3.6 has some interesting new things, but not enough to make it "beautiful".

To the unschooled eye that hasn't seen Gnome since 3.0, this looks just as ugly as it did when it was released.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I mean, take a look this screenshot:

How can you take that serious? I call that a waste of precious screen real estate. A desktop workstation is not a freaking tablet...

This view is not shown all the time, so nothing is wasted. And 28 + 6 icons is a lot. I don't see why it should be necessary to fit more icons on the screen by making them smaller.

The point I'm trying to make. Maybe it shouldn't be organised like that in the first place.

After seeing the GDM screenshot I'm actually glad that the CDE sources were released.
