        I felt that way before meeting a GNOME dev. Their target audience is the whole world of users who either don’t already have a computer or don’t know how to use one. They don’t want people customizing their apps. They don’t want a calculator named anything other than “Calculator”. They’re target audience is the 2B users that we don’t currently interact with.

          I mean that’s fine, but when people complain about text being too blurry and not sharp enough, their response was something along the lines of sharpness not being the sole metric for performance…

          who the fuck does that? and they do this shit all the time

          I think they’re targeting people who want to get stuff done. I don’t want to remember the icon for every application I use, I just search or I click on the window I want. Not a waste of screen space at the bottom, just a thin strip of basic stuff so I can focus on the task at hand. Yes KDE is supposedly easier to customise but that’s a requirement given it’s fugly out of the box

      I too hate Gnome with an unreasonable passion.

      So I just don’t use it.

      If others want to subject themselves to it, well, I’m not one to kink shame.
