Let me jump to the conclusion. I already don't use GNOME. My problem with their "my way or the highway" attitude is its impact on the broader linux ecosystem. A great example of this is client side decoration (CSD). Since gnome uses client side decoration, non gnome apps often don't have any window controls in gnome, and conversely gnome apps draw unwanted, redundant client side window decorations in environments with server side decorations (or in my case, no decorations). Another example is, from what I've seen gnome has had a lot more resistance to standardizing new wayland protocols from wlroots than KDE, because minimal compositors have a very different paradigm than gnome, and gnome isn't interested in supporting other paradigms.
