The truth, as always, is in the middle. Plenty of programmers hate it, and plenty of programmers like it. It just so happens that these kinds of spaces attracts more or the hate crowd, and paid shill articles attract more or the like crowd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Glad to see you’re getting the true GNOME experience :3. I used GNOME for ages, and honestly the only things that I like about it weren’t even base GNOME things, they were the system76 extensions lol. Once I got more interested in customizing my system the GNOME base started showing itself tho, and it was honestly so bad that I have no clue how it got so big. Like changing the date format in the Gsettings, doesn’t even change it in nautilus for example
