I find the idea that the long and historic relationship between GNOME
and Fedora could turn around so quickly like that to be very strange -
it's a bit like having a friend who suddenly meets someone else they
find interesting, and maybe you get a polite wave when you're passing.
You'd be left wondering what you did wrong...
The somewhat simple answer to that is the rather decisive GNOME Shell.
It was GNOME Shell that fractured the GNOME user community into GNOME
/ Cinnamon / Mate (and to a lesser extent other desktops that use GTK
like Xfce).
If GNOME 3 had been everything that it is but without GNOME Shell then
it is likely none of this would be occurring.
