6 That's the sane question to ask, unfortunately you won't get a real
7 answer from the GNOME developers themselves. They are still happy for
8 mistreating the desktop as a tablet and to continue alienating their
9 loyal user base with that shitty piece of crap they call GNOME 3.X,
10 praising themselves still that every remove of a beloved feature is a
11 mile stone in terms of usability and not facing the reality.

13 Also knowing better than the user himself what bells and whistles he
14 needs to configure his computer and not has also a long tradition in GNOME.

16 It is really no wonder, that quite some major distributions ditched
17 GNOME 3.X vanilla either for their own homegrown stuff or MATE/Cinnamon.
18 So it is really no wonder either, that GNOME 3.X ruined it for a large
19 part of their former user base and they switched to other desktop
20 environments.
