I totally agree.
This might have been the main reason for Canonical to develop - Unity & Mir, for stable development cycles.
I think Linux Desktop environments need to decouple the user applications from core desktop functionalities - window manager, themes, settings; everybody is doing their own thing.
Currently, every DE comes with its own solution for these functionalities.
1. Toolkits - GTK+, QT, EFL
2. Desktop - Gnome, KDE, XFCE, Enlightenment
3. Desktop/Systems Settings Control - Network / Disk / Display etc.
4. Applications - File Manager, Web Browser, Email Manager etc.
Gnome 2 forks brought more chaos into this argument.
