GNOME 3 was released 6 years ago. It has gone through several iterations since then.

Of course it has. As I said, this is subjective, but I provide support for a few non technical users (scientists/medical professionals) using the latest Ubuntu with Gnome 3 and I find it slow and unintuitive in comparison to my preferred setup. It has a superficial resemblance to MacOS/Windows which is a plus for some users.

More to the point, my comment was a criticism of the article rather than Gnome. Most of these "6 reasons" can be easily applied to any actively developed environment.

But the basic design principles remain.

But it's not slow and unintuitive anymore

How is meta (windows?) + ` intuitive? It is only intuitive if you come from Mac os.
