I happened across this a Wikipedia while clarifying another comment here:
<<
GNOME 3 is the default desktop environment on many major Linux 
distributions including Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE Linux Enterprise 
(exclusively), Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Oracle Linux, 
Scientific Linux, SteamOS, Tails, Kali Linux, Antergos and Endless OS; 
it is also default on Solaris, a major Unix operating system. Also, the 
continued fork of the last GNOME 2 release that goes under the name MATE 
is default on many distributions that targets low usage of system 
resources.

If so many distro's ship with gnome as default, no wonder it is popular.


I also think there is something odd (perhaps ironic?) that my preferred 
desktop is Mate - when I am protesting the desktop that is/was related 
to Mate so closely.


As somebody said - things change.
