    There is a heck of a lot of opinion in this article. GNOME itself and the direction they’ve taken has been a source of endless debate.

    I remember the time they took out the transparency options in GNOME Terminal for the same reasons used in this article. One person’s “bloat” is another persons much loved feature.

      Gnome is mostly removing features to make maintenance easier for them. They’d rather push the narrative that there is one right way to do things and settings are unnecessary. Needless to say, this has bit them in the bum many times and will continue to do so as time goes on. Remember how adamant they were about a sidedock with no option to change it?
