    Customization is necessary especially in the free software space because designers aren’t good enough to make acceptable defaults.

    I love KDE, but each new install takes a bit of fiddling to get it just the way I want.

    I wouldn’t have as much of an issue with GNOME’s lack of customization if they didn’t make stupid-ass decisions.

    Yeah, that sounds exactly like the GNOME3 team.

    For years, they fought back against giving users the option to change where their dock is, forcing them to be stuck with an asinine vertical dock because “vertical space is at a premium.”

    They do this because they’re lazy and incompetent. They simply do not want more work for themselves and will browbeat any of their users into doing things the “stupid gnome3 way.”

    Their designers are some of the dumbest people in the industry. Since they have a yes-man/echo chamber culture, they don’t ever get to learn from their mistakes because nobody holds them accountable for failure.
