Unfortunately GNOME and consistency never went together.
From time to time I revisit the GNOME dektop to assess if it's a viable alternative to my KDE.
What I still see is random, incoherent apps, meshed together, with the worst possible default values set, for each one of them.
Also the idea that half-baked and ultimately broken extensions, could provide basic functionality that should already be present in the first place, didn't do them any favors. Even the plugin/extension installation mechanism is broken!!
The general lack of configurability doesn't help either.
