I understand this is absolutely subjective but I just hate this phenomenon so much...
- flohofwoe 3y agoAs far as I'm aware it's mostly thanks to the GNOME project which fundamentally rejects the idea of adding 'server side window decorations' to their Wayland implementation, which is a weird hill to die on (and GNOME systems are unfortunately too popular to just ignore). This means native Wayland applications can't do much else than render their own window chrome, which then of course looks amateurish and inconsistent. It feels like a regression back to the early 1970's for no good reasons. Compare that to Xlib/XCB where you just create a window and that automatically looks consistent (this is also why XWayland is actually a really useful piece of software for applications that just need a GL or Vulkan context but no full-blown UI framework like GTK or Qt).
