This is a good move. Without having endless resources keeping the codebase small and focused just makes sense. I know it's going to be painful for non-Linux users but volunteer devs can't be expected to cover all bases.

They do have endless resources. They are an IBM company. If people choose to work for IBM without getting payed, that's kind of their problem.

I just registered for comment here: they always refused to admit it (by "they" I mean Fedora/IBM) but we will end up having a Gnome OS for the general public... And I'm afraid the 3E rule is starting to be applied (Extended already, Embraced in all the "other OS" and now...)

What is Gnomes market share like these days? It used to be the de facto FOSS desktop in the GNOME 2.x days but things changed with the release of Gnome 3 and I’ve not really noticed Gnome ever bounce back since.

KDE is commonly more popular among gamers it seems.

who does even compete with Gnome ? it is the de facto default desktop in almost all notable distros.

it just works, though it is far less customizable compared to KDE, it is far more stable -still only compared to KDE..
