Meh. No, gnome is not. XFCE was there before gnome 3 and is still here today. Same for all other popular desktop environments.

Gnome 3 can't be responsible for Mate, Cinnamon and Budgie adding 3 fragments to the desktop environment space instead of those 3 adding 1 by merging each other.
Gnome 3 brushed people the wrong way but blaming it for fragmentation when those 3 went away to do their 3 different things doesn't make sense.
Come on, MATE and Cinnamon ? To be consistent Cinnamon shouldn't exist and only MATE would make the cut if Gnome 3 is the problem.
Numbers I can find speak for themselves though: https://eylenburg.github.io/de_comparison.htm
There's no fragmentation, only KDE and Gnome.
