GNOME 2 used to mimic Classic Mac OS UI, plus it was super customizable and easy to create extensions for.

Peperridge Farm remembers.

God I miss GNOME 2... I will never forgive the GNOME devs.

    The whole GNOME 2 being replaced with Unity thing turned me away from desktop Linux entirely. I don't care if KDE or whatever exists now, I just want there to be one clearly most popular DE that does something reasonable.

      Okay, I guess, but that's a social wish about the preferences of others. It makes about at much sense as me wishing you just liked KDE. And at any rate it's not a technical or design wish that any software developer or team thereof can fix per se.

    It's still around and what I use. It's called Mate now.

      I was thinking on going back to Mate. Now I can happily vibe code any Gnome2 Plugin I want.

      Worst case the code sucks but it's fine if I keep them for myself.
