As opposed to Windows envy that apparently drives pretty much all the others, including every single version of KDE.
- Jnr 2y agoI sometimes test new Wayland features in KDE since they tend to be more on the bleeding edge when it comes to Wayland protocol support, but visuals and UX are stuck in Windows XP times and I don't enjoy it at all. Some 15 years ago Gnome rewrote things from scratch and that made people angry, but looking back at it now, it seems like it was worth it. I use both MacOS and Gnome, and I can easily say that Linux with Gnome is years ahead of MacOS. Nothing beats the polish of Gnome and it's extensions. It is less cluttered, snappy and doesn't get in the way. The only thing keeping Gnome back is it's developer documentation. It is hard to find good detailed information about available APIs, everything is hidden somewhere deep in C code which is not searchable without Gnome Gitea account. If they want to see the year of the Linux desktop having Gnome at the center of it, they have to improve in the developer documentation area a lot.
