I keep hearing everyone freak out over Ubuntu killing Unity and not focusing on Desktop anymore. My question is now that another main Distro now is running gnome and the death of Unity might help Gnome. Linux Desktop is not dead but now that will push more dev on one GUI. Hopefully that will make Gnome much better. What do you think?

@omnipotens I think GNOME3's beyond saving at this point, but I'm also the kind of person that won't use a DE if it can be avoided. I really like using small, purpose-built tools over whole suites of tools I may never use.

That said, with more people working on it, hopefully it'll become more appealing to people that like the idea of a DE

@architect I like Gnome. I like it because its customisations and I can set it up to work with my hybrid laptop for my touch screen. My only complaint is gnome-shell is kinda heavy and uses to much resource. Other than that I like it more than Unity. With that said each windows manager has its place

@omnipotens @architect I am trying out Gnome again for the first time in ages, and I have to say - I like it better than Unity (less quirks, so far). It is heavy, but the Galago is a HiDPI device, so I have only a few choices right now that support that reasonably well.

@architect @AmericanIdiot With this announcement I think hardware vendors are going to start hitting Gnome harder and hopefully get HiDPi support better on Gnome. Gnomes HiDPi support is already better than Windows.
