Guess I’m nobody, then. I really like Gnome. It works and gets out of my way. I don’t have to spend days configuring it or researching edge cases (like in WMs) and I don’t have to fiddle like crazy to make it look consistent (like on other DEs).

One of the nice things about Linux is, I can choose Gnome and you can choose whatever it is that you like. There’s plenty of room for diversity of opinion.

I personally don't use GNOME either but I believe Linux isn't only used by JS developers.
