Yeah of course i've got no problem that people use it, but the devs have started to take a vert opiniated approach that is not aligned with my vision. It's just unfortunate that an update can break all my habits

Image if all people who don't want to use Sway would post the same opinion every time anyone would mention DEs on Linux.

That would be relevant when a Debian/Ubuntu/whatever upgrade switched those users to Sway. That's the problem: The Gnome 3 users wanted to create something different but instead of doing just that they changed a project that already had existing users.

It's not the "Gnome users" that wanted to create something different - it's the Gnome developers that did.

It's the developers prerogative to do with their project whatever they want.

If you build a house for yourself you can do whatever you wish inside it. If you turn your house into a homeless shelter then you no longer can. Same if you take over management of an existing public building.
