They want to buy the thing they're looking for, and they want to pay a reasonable price and get good service. They want the site to be useable, understandable, and not fall over.
Those are the things that matter to me. I like all the various views, have come to the conclusion that gallery actually works better from the buyer's perspective when searching for specific items, though I think showroom is prettier, and nice when merely browsing. Because of the different advantages of each mode, I don't much mind which is the default.
