I'd like to take a moment to mention that the GNOME developers (who run the Gtk project) are literally insane. They're pushing this new batshit crazy Gtk versioning scheme, for one, but there's more. They're pushing around the Wayland scene with crazy design choices for Wayland compositors that affects the entire Wayland ecosystem and disrupts other projects hoping for cross compatability. The GNOME developers honestly and sincerely do not see a point to having any non-Gtk3 software work on the GNOME desktop. I'm not kidding, ask one of them and they will concur. They also broke everything with GNOME 3, and though they've managed to produce a pretty nice DE by 2014 or so they've spent the last couple of years removing features that people actually use once they deem them "obsolete". They also don't see any point in having any Gtk3 software work on systems without systemd or dbus, which I think is nuts even though I use systemd. GNOME is legitimately insane.
- im_down_w_otp 10y agoI think you literally mean figuratively.
- Sir_Cmpwn 10y agoNo, I mean literally at this point. I've talked with them a lot and they are honestly convinced that awful choices are good choices and don't understand how anyone would feel otherwise. I don't know anyone who doesn't work on the GNOME project that thinks any of their ideas are good ones.
