i wouldn't necessarily say that gnome helps promote the idea that linux isn't powerful. but even if the simplicity of gnome does make linux seem less powerful to some people, i'm not sure that its much of a problem. the averge computer user doesn't need linux to be powerful, perse; they just need it work, so they can.. browse the internet, email, work with open office / koffice / abiword, maybe play some games every now and then, etc.
