Honestly, I think they are going in the right direction. The main problem with the Linux desktop has always been the insane fragmentation in my opinion. There's a million different options for every little thing and so developers don't have a platform they can count on and their option is to either provide reduced functionality (no integration with the desktop environment) or support a bunch of different things. And users don't get a polished JustWorks(TM) desktop experience.
