On the Graying of Gnome
It sure looks like Gnome 3 took the wind out of Gnome&#x27;s sails.  This correlates with my experience as a Gnome user, as it was Gnome 3 where the project really took on a condescending user-demeaning attitude.  Gnome 3 is where the project shifted from &#x27;user friendly&#x27; to &#x27;assume the user is an imbecile.&#x27;  I now tell novices to use XFCE instead.
