Like what? I think it's generally agreed that their main product, the GNOME UI, uh, sucks.
You know that that is (your/an) opinion, right? I think it is not at all "generally agreed". It wouldn't be the default on most major distros if it did. And even if it was, why would you care even?
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…
With emails you can have your own UI in your own desktop, a thing only very few know nowadays and even less know how powerful and free it is. Sometimes people see in-Emacs presentations and say "that's like magic", it's just the classic desktop model vs the modern ex-IBM crappy model.
> The new platform offers way more features than Mailman, including gamification which newer generations, in general, appreciate, GNOME is a parody of itself.
I don't understand the issue with it. Badges, achievements, progress dashboards, etc. are mostly fine, and have been around for decades in multiple flavours and platforms.

It's not that easy, you will be tied to GNOME just by fact this or that app (for which there might not be replacement) picked GTK for its interface, so you have to at least go thru configuring it to look the same as the rest of your desktop. No matter which DE you chose you will be under GNOME's malady of design decisions. > They have a vision and stick to it for years. I'm happy they don't just feel offended by post…
In other news, if you use green paint, it'll paint things green.

As someone who formerly used to be in no-ML camp, I am proudly converted. Mailing Lists are decidedly democratic, and have least barrier to entry. It is also technically superior in providing unified interface to patches, communication, bug reports and everything adjacent. Compared to that any fancy service provides lock-in under thin veil of "friendly interface".
> Mailing Lists are decidedly democratic, and have least barrier to entry. Oh no, they are not. I loathe projects that only do mailing list support, because that means I have to subscribe to the mailing list, create a new folder and filter rule so that the mailing list doesn't flood my inbox with stuff I don't care about, and once the problem is solved, leave the mailing list, remove the filter and folder. In contras…
That's a workflow problem on your side. Why is it so hard? Maybe your mail user agent isn't configurable?
"In contrast,"... "me"... "I"... "I"... "I"...
Every one of your proposed advantages are not about the community's health, but about your convenience and ability to ignore the community as a whole.
It's fine that you have a preference, but claiming that your preference is more democratic is incorrect.

> they piss some people off by making radical choices No, people are not pissed off by the radicality of the choices. Stop taking people for uneducated jokers. People are pissed off because they understand the choices and do not agree with them or what they imply. Gamification, pushing apps and app stores, using the same disempowering concepts as mobile plateforms, changing design every so often for no good reason, f…

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'm glad somebody made a UI that actually works in both form factors. All that's missing is a swipe keyboard.
