This article was written in the sense of bashing gnome but yet some points seem to be valid. It explains the history of gtk 1 to 4 and the influence of gnome in gtk. I’m not saying gnome is bad here, instead I find this an interesting to read and I’m sharing it.
This article can pretty much be summed up as I don’t like GTK or Gnome so I’m going to just present them being shit as a factual statement. I use Arch and KDE btw.
Gnome 3 released close to 13 years ago and was announced 16 years ago. At some point, people need to stop crying about the UX changes and get the fuck over it.
If you don’t like it, use something else and stop being so entitled.
That KDE Plasma 5 is finally usable and stable, after having decided to stop pushing the ridiculous plasmoids on the user […] is like having an old whore finally becoming a respectable woman.
Yeah, I stopped reading here.
what the actual fuck
the person who wrote this post is so full of hate and contempt. I find myself quite disinterested in reading.
Not sure about the similarities here, but I actually love GTK when it comes to app design. It’s one of the things I miss about Linux in Windows. (Yes, I’m a Windows user—not by choice, though.) About the only thing I hate about it is that for some reason a lot of GTK app designers think a simpler design should mean less functionality. Gimme my damn right-click context menus dammit! >_<
❤️ GTK and Gnome.
I swear the same people that complain about Gnome3+ also complain about Wayland.
Both projects put a lot of thought into their controversial decisions, they’re attempting to learn from their mistakes.
There comes a point where you need to adapt to change. And both these projects have proven their changes are beneficial.
