Ah, now, hang on.

If one is questioning the direction of the desktop, well, that is
entirely valid.

But saying "we like GNOME 2, give us GNOME 2, we don't want anything
new or different, we like it as it is," that's not questioning the
future direction. That's just saying "we don't want a future
direction."

If people /are/ trying it, then good for them. I think a lot of people
aren't trying it, they're just complaining about it sight unseen.

Voicing concerns is fine. The bulk of the voices seem to me, though,
to be just stating a dislike of change.
