Stop it. Gnome-ification is incredibly user hostile. Almost every time folks "simplify" a UI, they actually make it far more complicated instead.

If your users now have to use dconf or userChrome.css to do the things they are accustomed to doing, you have not simplified anything.



It sounds like in your view simplifying a UI is not possible or has never been successfully implemented.

I think it is very much possible, very much needed by lots of software out there, but indeed it’s hard.

The hardest part is not alienating existing users when messing with muscle memory.
