I fail to see how being different is 'getting in the way'. There's a
learning curve with many things, but people seem to have a very low
tolerance for change on the desktop. Perhaps the proliferation of
desktops perpetuates that.
10 Choose a desktop
20 Install desktop
30 Spend 5 minutes using it, make a snap decision that it's not good
40 Goto 10
There's a lot of that about.

Just because GNOME 2 did it one way for years, doesn't make it the right
way. It just makes it the established way. The established way can still
be wrong.
