    "How dare someone have a preference different than me"

    Seriously though, I don't get the gnome hate circle jerk. It isn't for everyone but works well for some.

    Same. I've used Gnome, KDE and XFCE (and OS X and Windows) and Gnome is my clear favourite. Claiming that their decisions don't make sense is clearly false if it works so well for so many.

    Oh this argument is just a meme and I'm here to enjoy that. But also KDE > Gnome, no question.

    Gnome is the reason it took me so long to like Linux for daily driving, because it was the default DE on the distros I was trying. Thank goodness for Fedora+KDE Plasma. If someone else likes it, good for them - I like that they are using Linux.

    It's extremely important we voice our opinion on bad design so that their decisions don't become mainstream or standard.

    GNOME has been a dumpster fire since 3 and the developers only care about what will result in the least amount of work for them. They think they're as good as Apple, where they can be the sole authority on how their DE is used, but then they make incredibly stupid decisions like dictating where users can put the dock. Their design team is nowhere near the level of Apple and they should stop pretending otherwise.

    Don't use gnome if you don't like gnome. No one is forcing you to use it.

    I like gnome and so do many other people.

    Don’t use gnome if you don’t like gnome. No one is forcing you to use it.

    But I also don't want it to be the default DE on mainstream distros that could be frequently used by Linux newbies. I suspect a lot of the people out there who tried Linux and then hated it because it was weird and too hard to figure out ... came to that conclusion because the first distro they had defaulted to Gnome and they thought all Linux was like Gnome.
