Part of the problem (as I see it), Brian, is that a large portion of our
user base is rather inexperienced. When you run straight helix, you not
only lose the continuity in menus between different managers, but your GNOME
menus won't be updated when you install a new package that is designed to
use the new menu system.
Inexperienced users are not likely to be comfortable with having to create
their own menu entries for every app.
You are correct that there are some striking differences between the two.
One that comes to mind immediately is the mdk GNOME's inability to properly
display GTK themes with light colored text. They look fine in the preview
window, but you end up with black text on your dark brown buttons after you
apply the thing.
