> GNOME is probably worst DE imaginable

I agree. And yet I also still use GNOME. I just really like the GTK aesthetic. And you'll have to pry dash-to-dock from my cold, dead hands.

Same here, only with Dash to Panel. But man - I have so many workarounds for standard functionality GNOME either breaks or refuses to implement. A symlink in place of /usr/bin/gnome-terminal, patch sets for GTK 3, custom scripts to work around that you can't configure the screenshot folder...

I’m sure this goes for a lot of people, me as well for some time; but in the end, the problems simply became too much for me— so I’m curious, how long have you been using Gnome?
