It was bad even then, because it imitated some elements of MS windows, some elements of OS/2, some elements of mac os, it had messy APIs, but we didn't care because most of us have used Windows as first GUI DE and it was performant and mostly cohesive, yeah, so all in all was OK. >So what's else to do than just randomly screw with things. This is also seen in Firefox, Thunderbird, and the Windows operating systems. And with GNOME we witness the same fate of all three, being a commercial software passing for a software you can use for free. It will infuriate some people forever.
