But in all seriousness, why are we moving away from usability features ingrained into muscle memory after 30 years across all desktop computing platforms? Have we not learned in the past 10 to 20 years that pandering to the lowest common denominator destroys good software and turns it into an enshittified mess? We need to stop removing features because people are too stupid to use them. If they’re too stupid to use the features they’re too stupid to use the product.

And it has been a standard behavior on Linux since the 1990s. This just seems to me like more of GNOME's "simplicity at all costs" run amok. I'm a power user. I want poser user features. So I use KDE, a project run by people who care about power users and their needs. I'm happy for you if GNOME meets your needs.
