There are countless open source projects that don't charge a dime and don't have the "Gnome attitude".

There's such a thing as too opinionated (and it's coming from someone that likes opinionated).

Then maybe you should use one of those projects instead of GNOME? What's the problem here?

[jmnicolas]

I did exactly that: I use KDE.

There are plenty of OSS projects that aren’t DEs.

Then maybe some of those project maintainers should start a DE, and see first-hand how it's really difficult and requires making a lot of tough decisions that don't apply to other projects?

Funny how the KDE guys never seem to get quite this level of flammage.

I extensively use Gnome but I think it might be time for me to consider switching.
