Best i can tell, Gnome has lost respect for their users ever since they started doing usability testing for their interface.

This because they consider any usage that deviate from their planning a indication that the user is an idiot...

I was just thinking about how no one even pretends GNOME Shell is a serious contender any more. Sad that they've squandered their installed base so thoroughly.

Been using Linux since 1998. GNOME 3 and GNOME Shell have been my favorite DE since then.

I use gnome shell. What should I switch to that, and why?
