It keeps getting worse with each version, and they drag a big part of the open source community with them, because so many apps depend on GTK. Especially important ones like Firefox and Chromium. It absolutely sucks when Gnome controls such a large chunk of the open-source ecosystem.
In fact, it was Gnome that dragged Debian into the systemd debacle. Lennart Poettering managed to convince the Gnome developers to introduce a hard dependency [1] on systemd.

They will be defended to the hilt but you only start to see the tangled vines when you try to build something without them. If you try to pull them out all other software goes too in a big clump. Then their developers ‘own Linux’.
