I wouldn't say never against a FOSS project. Some people do like GNOME. It's the best to see for OP's own eyes. They might like it or hate it. However one shouldn't be prejudiced. Hate all you want after you tried and found weak points for your usage cases. Some popular distros use GNOME for a reason. Personally I find it too restrictive, but I don't hate it. You would have rights to hate if it was the only DE around but you have tons of alternative options out there.
