The bashing is truly amazing. Not only does it lack constructiveness (in most cases), but Gnome (I speak of Gnome here not to the exclusion of KDE. I just happen to be a Gnome user) is beautiful, and has been for years.
Thank you Gnome team, including designers, that created such a beautiful desktop experience for me.
Design is more than beauty. Design is functionality, how you use stuff. As long as I rather jump into a terminal than navigate through the UI, that's a fail in my book, and very few DE's on Linux pass this test.
