Yes, a completely imaginary class of users they invent in their
head to justify whatever insanity they decide they want to implement,
so when people object they can say, "but this is what the users want".
Except that it works very well for a lot of people. I have introduced
many people to Linux with Gnome and I don't get complaints. I even
had one woman ask if I could put it on her Macbook (I didn't try
that). When I first saw the new Gnome demos a few years ago, I was
very skeptical, but I gave it a try and I do like it. It was a little
rough at first, but it has been improving rapidly and it's very good now.
Maybe it's not for you or maybe you haven't given it a decent try, but
either way, that's not an excuse for you to put down the developers
and be very rude about it repeatedly. And that goes for some others
that have commented in this and similar threads.
And in all fairness, I jettisoned Gnome after some time with v3 and how
slow it was making my old systems. I had started working with Xfce on
Fedora-arm on 32bit Allwinner chips. So I made the switch on my main
notebook and have not even looked at Gnome since.
I have often said to friends, that you choose which distro you want to
spend time with and anything else is pulled from surplus cycles.
I did not like the slowness and complexity of Gnome3 and have no idea
which way it has gone since those first Fedora versions that used it.
At times I complain about Xfce, but most are minor or I have to learn a
new tweak.
Those of you that have the ability or need to work with multiple UIs and
ver of Linux, hats off to you!
