Math isn't among the strong points of Gnome devs. Neither is honesty. If they were honest they would write the truth, like:
"100% of Linux desktop users love middle-button paste, but we want to muddy the waters for those 25% of them who are stupid enough to use Gnome, our sponsors will reward us for it."
I wholly dis^H^H^Happrove of what you say—but won't defend to the death your right to say it.
(Apologies to not Voltaire)
I am mostly on Windows now, but once upon a time I was a GNOME fanboy, did some minor contributions to Gtkmm, the most relevant one was an article on The C/C++ User's Journal raising awarness of its existence.
When using GNU/Linux VMs with desktop experience, I never use GNOME unless I am not able to change to XFCE, KDE, or even my oldie WindowMaker. e.g. I don't own the VM.
No idea what is their supposed target audience nowadays.
