I've found that reaction doesn't last very long. In fact, configuring any Linux desktop to look extremely similar to Windows[0] leads users to think everything will be extremely similar. They tend to be more upset upon discovering unexpected differences than they are when it's obviously different from the start.
[0] I say Windows here because I've only seen in with Windows users. Users of any other platform are used to the idea of different operating systems.
If I went back some 40 years and presented Gnome to IBM mainframe users, they would complain the lettering is not green on black.
But I would love to have the 3278 font available on my boxes.
And no, it's not exactly the one on x3270. They got the 6's and 9's wrong
