> I see a lot of Gnome projects started then abandoned, only to see a new project doing exactly the same thing being built from scratch afterwards. For instance, they are working on a new IDE Gnome builder, who the hell needs this when multiple projects like Gedit get very little contribution today ?

"They" → me

Like seriously, me. It's not the GNOME foundation. They've given me no money. I do get occasionally contributions from the same people that build Gedit. I also spent most of a decade contributing to another well known IDE for Mono. So this isn't my first rodeo.

A significantly amount of work I've done on Builder HAS flowed upstream into both GTK and Gedit, so clearly you have no clue what you're talking about.

> To me the Gnome foundation is wasting money with all that stuff, while investing very little in the documentation for instance. Their website is a mess.

Again, your money to the foundation has never gone to Builder, but I also hope to have a large demo regarding documentation to show at GUADEC, should you choose to attend.
