AFAIK GNOME did not did any real, comprehensive user testing or survey before removing stuff and changing things, what sucks is that GNJOME users like you dismiss other GNOME users that give feedback. Sometimes this projects get under the control of some big ego person or group that push their "vision", this people are incompetent and refuse to accept their stuff has flaws and you get this negativity. This happen in KDE Plasma too, there was there a guy with big ego too, he created the thing called a "cachew" and refused to give the option to hide it , yeah a KDE guy with a GNOME mentality, but in the end the guy was gone and normality was restored , not even you have the option to hide the crap, it is GONE now https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/10/kde-kills-desktop-toolbox-icon https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/10/kde-kills-desktop-toolbo... I hope GNOME also will get rid of big ego people and Red Hat manages to hire competent designers , developers and honest PR people .

This has been an issue since gnome shell was released, I don't believe it will get any better from now on.

Can you explain exactly who the ego individuals and groups are within GNOME right now? GNOME works great for me.

  I stopped following GNOME and Linux drama so I can't name the people, there was the designer that had no idea what XFCE is, the PR guys that were lying that GNOME has no File Picker with thumbnails because it is not the GNOME way and later it surfaced that they would love the feature but they are incapable of implementing it. So the GNOME guys were explaining the GNOME way to upload a image, it was something about using the File Manager to browse the iamges and then D&D the image in the browser and they claimed that it was the superior way (like all GNOME workflows all are superior). The guy that refused to allow GNOME to be customized, he wanted like Apple to force the superior GNOME color scheme and wallpaper on users, he failed to see that the hard core GNOME fans are split in distros and each distro has a different brand color and the "superior GNOME experience" where a guy chooses the best color by forcing it on everyone his personal opinion was dropped a bit, though there is still a group of big egos dudes that are still trying to force apps to not be customizable. Also I did not named the big ego KDE Plasma guy even if I still remember him, and his stupid refusal to give us the option to hide the cachew, don't want to name hi, probably he forgot by now about his assholery and hopefully is not an asshole with other people still .

  Won't name him but there is an specific Gnome developer who has become a lolcow on the level of Terry Davis in computing related image boards due to his huge ego and arrogant behavior. Aside from Terry himself I have never seen something like that before and it should tell you something about his attitude, he is not the sole offender from the gnome team just the most prominent one.

  I regret even asking this question.
