Here is the ultimate problem with GNOME. It is essentially a lie.
What I mean: Imagine you bought a ticket for Matrix 4, and they showed John Wick.
That's what GNOME 3 did. They made a new and different product; whether you like it more or less than the last one isn't the point. They betrayed the reliance we had on the old thing by a "lie of omission." A more honest approach would have been to name Gnome 3 something different (and perhaps hand the Gnome name off to the MATE people?)
Except John Wick has been better than all the Matrix movies but the first
That actually doesn't contradict my point. It's fine if you like it better, the problem is pretending it's the same thing.
