    For many of us, it was the Gnome Wars and the Devs staged their coup and took over. Because who needs to listen to your customers? You’re a Dev and you know best right?

    Gnome 2 was Da Bomba. Clean and fast with just enough user control to make you happy. I still miss Gnome2 some days. Then the War happened and we got Gnome3. And things spiralled into the hell that Gnome has become. I switched to KDE and I dabble in many other DEs for funsies. But never Gnome anymore.

    These days, I think Cinnamon DE is about as close as you can get to Gnome2. But, even that is slowly evolving away as it must.
