I've been pointing out that misalignment from day 1. Nobody seems to care.

IMHO, developers are much better served with the KDE Spin:
* Plasma is more configurable and more adapted to the power users that
  developers inevitably are,
* Apper (the package management GUI installed by default on the KDE spin)
  does not hide development packages the way GNOME Software (the package
  management GUI installed by default on the Workstation product) does,
* Qt and kdelibs / KDE Frameworks are a better development platform than
  GTK+ (and yes, I've used both),
* KDevelop is a better IDE than anything GNOME has to offer.

The choice of GNOME as a desktop environment completely contradicts the 
claimed target of "developers".
