The gnome JavaScript rant is real. I had to move on to kde plasma because of it. Kde plasma is more powerful but a little cluttered. Gnome has managed to keep things very simplistic. There is a silver lining though, gnome4 has plans to ditch js.

This is intriguing. Do you have a link to more info?, I can't seem to find anything.

gnome3 problem is NOT js. its that a few devs took over when nobody was looking, changed everything, and released a new version without ANY of the features hundreds of people contributed over the years. now, years later they are at 30, maybe 35% of thr minimum features for a wm (and that thanks to hacks on top of the legacy pieces, because those devs were too busy changing the default theme and moving the window buttons left and right to better mimic apple choices du jour)
