Agree, in a sense that it has abandoned tinkerers and focused on mainstream users. I'm not sure the result is disastrous, though. In Google Trends GNOME has maintained its position relative to KDE:

If you have more relevant stats, please share!
- Sprint 13y agoI share the dislike of Gnome 3 with many but I also see the potential of it for others so this is meant as a humorous countergraph: https://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=%22xfce%20sucks%22%22kde%20sucks%22%2C%20%20%22gnome%20sucks%22%2C%20%20%22gnome%202%20sucks%22%2C%20%20%22gnome%203%20sucks%22 https://www.google.com/trends/explore?q=%22xfce%20sucks%22%2... (Google Trends is not a measure of anything but Google Trends!)

- richtr 13y agoSince we seem to be doing Google Trends here is a relevant one: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22chrome%20sucks%22&cmpt=q https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=%22chrome%20sucks%22... How did that work out again?
- olimp 13y agoIt's because now more people search how to solve Gnome problems vs KDE problems. I'm not joking.
