This is pretty funny, because if you just use Gnome apps + desktop environment, you have a consistent experience. But if you only use Microsoft/Windows GUIs, panels and applications, it nowhere near as consistent.

So even the Gnome team can build better UI and UX than Windows themselves can, pretty telling.

People like to hate on them, but their design is actually really good, innovative and the applications running on GTK are incredibly fast and stable.

I'm not a fan of some of their UX design decisions, but I must admit that they seemingly know what they're doing, and their execution / implementation is pretty good.

I also hope that, unlike MS, they have no infighting between departments, and no stack ranking.

As long as you don’t use title bars, menus, or scrollbars you’re golden.

I'm not complaining/hating, Gnome is my desktop environment of choice since some time ago.

Was more a nod to how awful Microsoft seems to (still) be at UI and UX.
