Was anyone forcing you to use Unity against your wishes? Why are you glad I have one less option? In fact it was my daily driver for quite a while, I'm pretty sad about the news.

Diffusing resources. In this case one good option might be better than 2 mediocre options.

It doesn't automatically follow that all the developers that were working on Unity will now be working on Gnome.

Am not OP, but this is more than unity v gnome -

it is wayland vs mir, which had the potential to much more radically fragment linux GUI applications over the long run..

No, but we can hope some of them will.
