Linux developers have to have a target class of users in mind
Yes, a completely imaginary class of users they invent in their head to justify whatever insanity they decide they want to implement, so when people object they can say, "but this is what the users want".
Except that it works very well for a lot of people. I have introduced many people to Linux with Gnome and I don't get complaints. I even had one woman ask if I could put it on her Macbook (I didn't try that). When I first saw the new Gnome demos a few years ago, I was very skeptical, but I gave it a try and I do like it. It was a little rough at first, but it has been improving rapidly and it's very good now.
Maybe it's not for you or maybe you haven't given it a decent try, but either way, that's not an excuse for you to put down the developers and be very rude about it repeatedly. And that goes for some others that have commented in this and similar threads.
