FFS, what is with this toxicity?
They aren't bad choices. They are choices that you don't like, but plenty of others do.

No it doesn't, because Gnome is completely customisable, and the devs encourage that through the extensions platform.
If you don't like Gnome, that's ok. You don't need to moan about it online and say it's shit. I don't like mushrooms. I don't moan about it, I don't say meals are bad for including them, and I don't tell people they're wrong for liking them.
