On the Gnome Project and “My Way or the Highway”

There are countless open source projects that don't charge a dime and don't have the "Gnome attitude".

There's such a thing as too opinionated (and it's coming from someone that likes opinionated).

Then maybe you should use one of those projects instead of GNOME? What's the problem here?

There are plenty of OSS projects that aren’t DEs.

Then maybe some of those project maintainers should start a DE, and see first-hand how it's really difficult and requires making a lot of tough decisions that don't apply to other projects?

Funny how the KDE guys never seem to get quite this level of flammage.

I extensively use Gnome but I think it might be time for me to consider switching.

I did exactly that: I use KDE.
