Don’t use gnome if you don’t like gnome. No one is forcing you to use it.
But I also don’t want it to be the default DE on mainstream distros that could be frequently used by Linux newbies. I suspect a lot of the people out there who tried Linux and then hated it because it was weird and too hard to figure out … came to that conclusion because the first distro they had defaulted to Gnome and they thought all Linux was like Gnome.

I like gnome and so do many other people.

That’s nice.
I will continue to voice my opposition to poorly designed products.
