What a silly statement. That's like saying a Mac is an overpriced machine for developers that are forced to use Xcode. Different strokes for different folks.

The different folks are called poor people. Nobody is turning down a macbook pro for a dusty thinkpad running linux. Get real.

It's not silly. The target market for GNOME is nobody (except maybe GNOME developers themselves).

Guess I’m nobody, then. I really like Gnome. It works and gets out of my way. I don’t have to spend days configuring it or researching edge cases (like in WMs) and I don’t have to fiddle like crazy to make it look consistent (like on other DEs).

One of the nice things about Linux is, I can choose Gnome and you can choose whatever it is that you like. There’s plenty of room for diversity of opinion.

I personally don't use GNOME either but I believe Linux isn't only used by JS developers.
