Ye gods... From the sound of it, it's not just Miguel wanting to be Microsoft -- all the Gnome devs want to be Apple!
You might recall the recent article that quoted another Gnome dev:

Quoting:Because we’re not designing a desktop for people who like to choose their own terminal emulators.“
Which the article author cleverly expanded to
Quoting: This “We are not designing a desktop for people who …” has become a new meme. GNOME 3 is not designed for people
who want to minimize windows
who want to change the theme, icons or fonts
who want to configure power management actions
who want to use panel applets/extensions that can easily be added or removed
who want to select their native language on the login screen instead of having to re-login after they have changed it in the control center
who want to use their keyboard layout so they can actually log in
who want to shutdown their computers from within a GNOME session

Maybe they need to change the desktop name to Gnoose, then. And you can report about it on the gnoosewire.
@tc: Yeah, it's becoming clear that they've already chosen their possibly-terminal emulation.

There has been a ton of yak-yak about Gnome 3 and Unity....poor KDE 4 even got drug back into the fray. Hey, and I can't cast the first stone about the amount of said yak-yak...
Some of it was mine.
However, in another thread someone named chikauuno was invited to visit LWN.net and since I do write for them from time to time, I thought I'd mosey on over and see what was new(s)
Low and behold, another article critiquing Gnome 3. However, this wasn't your normal gripes and groans...there was some fairly indepth stuff within. We've all either heard of or experienced Gnome developers being a bit haughty and controlling. Gotta love the Interwebs...what goes on the Internet stays on the Internet. I hope this precious jewel of insight into the Gnome Dev/Gnome Project mindset stays for a long, long time.
Facilitating the unrestricted use of extensions and themes by end users seems contrary to the central tenets of the GNOME 3 design. We've fought long and hard to give GNOME 3 a consistent visual appearance, to make it synonymous with a single user experience and to ensure that that experience is of a consistently high quality. A general purpose extensions and themes distribution system seems to threaten much of that.
