It was never really a big complaint - I was responding to a question
asked about perceived problems with Gnome, with specific reference to
"going out of our way to facilitate the errors of other platforms". 

IMO, a bad default WM and a set of defaults that hide useful
functionality in order to make the environment more familiar to Windows
escapees is a perfect example of exactly that.
