We are being forced to use de's like openbox or xfce wich is the primary reason people shy away from unix/linux when changing from Windows to another OS. It just becomes to confusing and complicated from they point of view and they choose MAC or another Windows versions instead.
Perhaps being 'forced' to those DEs is a good thing? Linux has lots of choices. Those who don't want choice can use some other OS just fine, all power to them.
Even i as a seasoned linux user ho switched over from ubuntu to arch a while ago it doesn't make any sense to me why they would do this.... i tell you the amount of Gnome users in my point is view in going to halve if not drop any further then that.
But ofcourse it is Gnome at fault here and not ARCH but still, can we not keeps the latest "old" version from before the release in the nomal repo's until they update 3.0 a couple of times ?
No, because that's not how Arch works. Gnome3 is not broken, nor will it break anyone's computer. Arch is bleeding-edge, it said so on the sticker when you installed it =)
