The 3-button clipboard criticism seems... weird. You can't do that in MacOS or Windows, either (Perhaps Linux should be better than those environments, and give you more options to enable/disable such things, but that's a different discussion). But I do like the "Chesterton's fence" analogy. GNOME is exactly that. They've rearranged things just to rearrange them, not based on research. Incompetence? Maybe. But I hesitate to call something so poorly-designed incompetence. I'm guessing GNOME has no actual designers, and the "designers" are just programmers who felt like they could do design, and so did.
