This article was written in the sense of bashing gnome but yet some points seem to be valid. It explains the history of gtk 1 to 4 and the influence of gnome in gtk. I’m not saying gnome is bad here, instead I find this an interesting to read and I’m sharing it.
Apple, Microsoft and Google, on the other hand, decides what is best for them, shove it down the users throats and get users’ money (and personal data) in return…
I think some criticism still valid though (but not the entitlement).
