The GoneME project seems to be a good idea. I use GNOME 1.4 at home and 2.2 at work (unfortunately I haven't used 2.4 or newer) and I must honestly say that I prefer 1.4 over 2.2. Yes, the 2.x is modern and uses an advanced architecture, much better than 1.4, but it sucks in many other areas, mostly those user-visible. It looks like it has been designed for some computer newcomer. Anyway, I agree with GoneME on some issues, like the button order for example (it's really annoying in 2.x). People, the button order should be easily changeable in the control panel (is it too hard to achieve this?), but unfortunately the whole control panel is very poor.
