I'm not really surprised at all this is still an ongoing issue. And by far I think people that work on the so called Human Interface Guidelines need to get off whatever ideology/belief they fed themselves for the desktop environment to finally, you know, grow for actual humans rather than their egos. At times it feels more like a cred, like when elementary OS was released I read so many comments on how Apple nailed the UI.
From the site:
>If you use GNOME and this is a revelation to you, it’s because you’re used to mediocrity. If you think your experience all this time was normal, you’re completely mistaken—and it’s not least because you’re using a specific desktop environment that’s available only on Free operating systems that account for only a fraction of a percent of desktop computer usage anyways.
I like the author just sarcastically points it out, because I remember reading years ago the same on both GNOME and elementary OS subreddits "it's because people are used to mediocrity". Or, you know, maybe people find it super helpful to being able to see the images without extra steps so they can choose whatever they want.
And then it all just spirals down into:
"Have you tried X/Y/Z?" no? Sucks for you buddy I guess you are stuck with mediocre people making design decisions. But as crud as I put it, I might not be wrong.
That said, I have completely given up on all the nonsense someone would have to follow to file a enhancement report and discuss it just to be stuck on discussion for 10 years. There's just no time and energy for that, and at the end people would just ditch the desktop environment because it's just too much of a hassle to use.
