    It’s not like GNOME adhere to the UNIX design principles in the first place.

    Also, I get that they’d want to streamline their stuff.

      They literally describe their infra as “Gnome OS”. They spoke loudly in the previews to Gnome 3 against terminal users having the right to customize their terminal. They want every Gnome install to carry and be limited to the “Gnome brand”. They are drunk on the corporate kool-aid and I would surmise it won’t be long before we see Activate your Gnome account" and “GnomePilot”, considering they are also drunk on Microsoft influences.

      They are, currently, a net negative for the classial Linux experience.

        In that sense, Cosmic OS coming out of alpha in hopefully a year might provide a decent alternative of Gnome does go astray.
