This article was written in the sense of bashing gnome but yet some points seem to be valid. It explains the history of gtk 1 to 4 and the influence of gnome in gtk. I’m not saying gnome is bad here, instead I find this an interesting to read and I’m sharing it.

    See the above. Stop being entitled. It’s their project and most of the work is done by volunteers, for free.

    If you find their product so detestable, don’t use it.

    You don’t have a god-given right to have free volunteers make software in the exact way you want them to.

    They are volunteers working on their own project, not slaves working on yours.

    Honestly nowhere outside of Linux do I see so many people get so much for free and yet be so spiteful and entitled in return.

      Apple, Microsoft and Google, on the other hand, decides what is best for them, shove it down the users’ throats and get users’ money (and personal data) in return…

      I think some criticism still valid though (but not the entitlement).
