Every successful OS or application has a design language. All Microsoft Office applications look similar because they all use the same design language. Why do you diminish what you don't understand?

It's not that the language exists, it's that GNOME's is so bad that they have to write about it.

E.g. there was never any need for Apple to talk about their "design language."

[tristan957]

Yes, they do: https://developer.apple.com/design/.

sigh

for VERY different reasons.

[tristan957]

State the different reasons.

[jrm4]

Apple is showing off their success, GNOME is making excuse for failure. This is obvious.

Unfortunately https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline... is down so I cannot show, but it is absolutely not showing off. It's an extremely detailed document showing how to place widgets on the screen down to the pixel.
