As a mailing-list bound software professional, this is wonderful news. Maybe one day we will be free of software development on MLs.
What's better than a mailing list?

Like what? I think it's generally agreed that their main product, the GNOME UI, uh, sucks.
gnome was the chosen ui and now its terrible, aiming for a mythical apple convert who wants a touch friendly interface gnome 2 was the truth. im curious if id still be running gui's today if gnome didnt crap the bed so bad, im mainly in tmux now.

I love Gnome, they piss some people off by making radical choices, but slowly they keep iterating and coming up with something nice over a long term. They have a vision and stick to it for years. I'm happy they don't just feel offended by posts like yours and act like short term pleasers. It's foss, you can fork it, you can use KDE. you can switch to Windows if you want. That's what free as in freedom is. Personally…

Switch to Mate.

Why be hostile to Gnome when they're far from the first to dump mailman, and far from the first to use Discourse?

Mailing lists are hard not much because mails layer too many tech but because people do not know them anymore due to the big push toward web crapplications, a push choosed for commercial purposes. As a result instead of being on a decentralized infra we end up in centralized ones, get too much overhead than switch to some giant cloud services.
Unfortunately it's not only "generic people" (CL/UL in the Simon's BOFH tails terms) but also technicians who tend "in crowd" to behave as any other "crowd" by Gustave Le Bon...

If your design decisions are so bad there are multiple projects that migrate off you or stick to the old version (hell, GIMP is still stuck at GTKv2 IIRC, with GTKv3 slowly getting there) then your "vision" might not be that great. Honestly GNOME is there because of inertia more than quality of the changes.

The interaction for randoms is much easier but I hate how much space it wastes. I wish there was "my desktop is not phone" default theme there...
