TIL Gnome devs have (left) foot fetishism
Tarantignome
Gnome does some questionable things, and some are just personal preference, but there is at least one thing that they do that makes zero sense regardless of how you use your system...
The AppIndicator extension SHOULD be default. There is no reason for it to be an extension other than pure stubbornness. There are applications that literally require it in order to function at all.
That you need an extension to disable the overview at startup still boggles my mind and the arrogance of the developers in the thread that started it didn't lessen my antipathy for Gnome at all.

Default the cursor to the Search field on a Save dialog is possibly the absolute fucking stupidest thing ever.
I love GNOME and everytime I tried an other DE I came back to GNOME. But the cursor in the search field is annoying and incomprehensibleβ¦

I'm triggered. Why would you even mention that.
I think the lack of a system tray in gnome is a case of perfect of being the enemy of good.

Don't even try to say GNOME is a touch screen design. I've used it with a touchscreen, it's just bad design. What bothers me the most is that is close to being good if not for a couple of stupid decisions like having no system tray.
The system tray thing irks me to no end. Some apps still use one to control things and you have to use hacky plugins to get them to show. Other than that there's a lot I do like about gnome. Plasma suits my needs more though. So much more you can do with it.
Yep. I don't even want a proper system tray, just gimme a list with the apps that are still running with their windows closed. They can't even do that.

I gonna be absolutely honest,gnome is fantastic for laptops.
Why, did they add a "New Text Document" context menu option again?
Gnome users be like "Open in Terminal" > touch filename.txt

They seem to be at war with the minimize and maximize buttons.
Really weird decision they make

I absolutely love (slightly tweaked) gnome. Fight me if you want, I'm sick in bed and have time.
well if you're sick in bed this will be an easy fight...
I elbow slam your face, your turn
You activated my trap card! My sickness was but a simple ruse to lure you into complacency! Your attack was weak, unfocused! I jump up, standing on my bed, your face is now easy prey for my unnaturally sharp knees. The structural rigidity of your nose is now forfeit!

"Fight me if you want, I'm sick in bed and have time."
I'm also sick and in bed, and this is such an appealing offer of a sparring match, but alas, I've never used Gnome
this makes you the ideal candidate for an internet argument !

I like gnome personally. It is all about simple inclusive design
I get distracted/overwhelmed fairly easily, so GNOME is a godsend. minimalistic top bar + on demand workspaces to throw my extra windows into = I can actually get stuff done.

Wh-what? Have you used GNOME before or just mad because they don't have the shitty main menu copied from MS Windows?

most of the things in gnome extensions should be built in and available from the settings. that being said there's nothing stopping me from just using something else, hence why I use kde.

i like gnome, it looks good, is smooth, and does it's job
Oh! A Gnome hate thread!
I'm in!
FUCKING GNOME>!!!111!!!ELEVEN
Gnome is not really touch-centric, it's more keyboard-crentric. Sure, the activity overview is great for touch. It's even greater for the keyboard though. And I don't like using the mouse a lot anyway

I'm going to roll your machine back to KDE4
Hell yeah, Oxygen
You know how you start hallucinating in a sensory deprivation situation? I feel a lot of UX people just aren't talking to users directly and thus we get whatever they hallucinate is a good design, disconnected from any actual user needs. Any user feedback only comes after they've made their mind up and is seen as the users being wrong, as the alternative is harder to deal with.
It's free so I can't really complain, but I can use KDE instead.
As long as I can still customize Gnome with some extensions for improved focus, it'll stay my DE of choice.

Both Gnome and KDE are 100x better than win or macOS. I use KDE for me but I install Gnome on my familly 's stuff.

It's a fine DE... But boy making appindicator/KStatus an un-officially-supported extension is dumb
