Well, I have been a GNOME user since Ubuntu 9.10. If you are like me, you tried KDE a couple of times but found it a little disappointing in a few respects. GNOME felt at home, well, that was back when it was GNOME 2. Now, it is a different beast altogether.
GNOME 3 uses an overview mode to show activate applications, it doesn't have a list of windows by default and its settings are hidden under menus that make the new user wonder what the he** was the GNOME team on when they were dreaming this masterpiece of sh** up.
Some of features in the desktop were removed because they were deemed unnecessary. I get that, but then they added a cow and pretended to yell wolf. It became a little weird if you know what I mean.
GNOME became slow. I mean, slow. It became slower than Ubuntu's Unity and slower than slow.
GNOME started to add useless applications, such as Weather and Clocks. And they started to add things, no one in their right mind uses, such as Documents for Google Docs. It just doesn't work properly and makes people feel like they are trapped in a box, all of a sudden.
They made folders for some of their applications in the menu. I get that. But only two??? What the freak! It works, but it needs a lot of improvement.
Well, GNOME wants to create their own OS for development purposes. Why? Don't they have their desktop environment to iron out the errors first. And why don't they pair up with, say, Fedora or OpenSuse. They might want that!
Anyway, it's been a journey. Happy computing!
