and if the developers (in this case GNOME developers) would
be less ignorant while punish their users they would never
became relevent because there would have been no reason to fork
I couldn't agree more. I can hardly imagine how an open project can be so careless
about such large groups of their own users.

and why the hell did upstream not do this work from the very frist beginning?
I wouldn't ask specific people to actually work on it. But it would be nice if the
core developers provided more support, feature stability and API stability. To ask them to
actively encourage alternative GUIs and allow them to be built on top of the Gnome stack
instead of forking some of its projects... would be probably too much.
If only it could be possible to make most of the Gnome devs learn from the community
feedback instead of giving marvellous talks at conferences about how much the community is
wrong.
