I am obviously one of few who never had any problems with GO (even if only one out of approx 30 voted to have problems with GO). As far as I have followed the discussions it seems more a problem of a combination of GO and Rotating Wallpaper, maybe something else.
Of course Amazon modded the 2.3 Android significantly, but at the end it is a 2.3. You can change languages to any 2.3 has and activate other 2.3 stuff as well, it is just hidden not removed. And with the combination of a modded Amazon 2.3 and open source Apps, some better, some worse, you can run into trouble.
Last point, I do not think it is correct to talk about a launcher running on another launcher (pls correct me if I am wrong). They are running in parallel and you can choose, which one you like to run. I deleted silk and the original launcher in the system/app and the Fire is still running properly. What is not running properly afterwards are Amazon Apps because most of them depend on each other.

And I deeply hope, that my arguments are presented better as in other post concerning this topic and causing not any more stomach ache to anybody.

And to dacarlson, in which of your 4 categories do you think you are yourself?
