I do.

To get me into using GNOME, somebody must manage to persuade me with
more than an URL to some web page. ;)

And one comment on this "aggressive Red Hat branding" scenario that
is happening with regard to KDE/GNOME, I don't care. I have other
things to do than /. or bashing Linux distributors. I want the X
desktop to be both stable and usable. I don't need a hundred
settings and knobs somewhere deep in the configuration menus. And
when something is missing, it won't be implemented unless a few
thousand other users would request it, too. In the three beta
versions I didn't see so many changes that would disturb me. Hence
I'll wait till 8.0 is available and then see whether I like it or
not. The same with regard to the term "crippleware". If many users
think 8.0 contains crippleware, I'm certain Red Hat will notice and
will think about it.
