I suspect I'm being trolled here, but if you've seen no progress in
GNOME in the last 10 years then I think you need to look harder. We
can't design a modern OS for hardware that's ten years old.

I consider Gnome development to have been a profound expansion of the
precise problems with open source interfaces described in Eric
Raymond's "Luxury of Ignorance" essay. It violates *every single one*
of his suggested design guidelines, and the guidelines which I sent
him and he added as a postscript. So I can honestly say that it's not
progressed overall, though new features have been added.
