As far as I can tell, the guiding principle of the GNOME project
these days is "I like it, so that's what you should use."

Only I don't like it.

Luckily, we live in a world full of choices, and the decision to
use a particular desktop environment (or not) is reasonably easy
to change.

I like XFCE, urxvt, and vim and mutt and slrn. Other people can
have different preferences, and that's just fine.
