I actually think general Gnome workflow is pretty alright (even if I prefer other things), but yeah, Gnome devs seem to like. Actively hate their users?
GNOME is the Apple of the FOSS world
Yeah, like I'm all in favor of having an opinionated design, but their dominance makes their bad decisions actively harm every other de. Stuff like refusing to compromise on cross-desktop protocols
Their "dominance" is the choice of the distributions. Gnome is opinionated, and I respect that they follow their vision. To me this is free software working as intended, people are free to fork Gnome if they want something that the devs don't want. And apparently, many distributions think Gnome should be the default. Maybe it shouldn't, but that's up to the distros to decide.
Oh yeah, they're free to decide, I just disagree with them! I get the decision though, and if I were on charge of a large distro, I'd probably make the same choice (until plasma is on a normal release cycle)
