gnome should do whatever is best to make the interface more simple and attractive at the same time.
I think they should make it user friendly and limit the use of the terminal.
I like it better without icons
Please don't remove the icons
I don't care actually, will not affect me too much
They should fix the problem the icons have instead of getting rid of it with

It's easy to switch back for people who prefer that. Personally I would like to spend a bit more time with my setup in this configuration before I make up my mind entirely.
The biggest issue I see with this is dyslexic users, now that one can no longer associate an icon with an action reading and having good translations becomes even more important than it was already. I know my ex-girlfriend e.g. will have a lot harder with such an interface.
It does save space and bring things more in line with what other OSes does as well and it looks a bit cleaner I guess and it removes idiotic metaphors like a diskette for "save" which still is the default for many iconsets (I haven't seen floppy in years.. does anyone still use them?)
The best thing though is that it removes a lot of colors of the interface, all those icons makes it hard to let a menu feel professional and slick rather than what a 5 year old with a set of crayons could do if you turn you back for a few minutes.

Toolbar buttons, where the diskette icon is prevalent, are unaffected.Originally Posted by gnomeuser
Step inside your soulFind that place at its bestOn which to be whole,And apart from the rest.
I, for one, would actually love to see those get changed at the same time, maybe morphed into menus like Windows 7 is doing. It just makes sense. The current role of toolbars is ridiculous; most of them just provide common functions like Save / Print / Zoom / Undo which are already put in common places in the menu which is right above the toolbar. It's all a bit of a mess.
