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.
