I love how nowadays simply stating ordinary facts is considered "hating". I see this in a wide variety of discourses.

My opinion is that Gnome should've gone after the advanced market of users who create things. The people that OSX used to appeal to. Instead they've targeted an unrealistic group of consumers who are going to increasingly move their primary computing to android/iOS/fxos.
Again, they needed to create realistic personas to begin with.

But targeting the regular people who just browse and do facebook is chasing after a segment that would never even use Linux, while alienating your primary users. The people in that former group buy a computer and use it as-is. They're not going to buy a system and then install a Linux distro.
Regular folks generally follow the enthusiasts, not the other way around. They're certainly not the trend-setters.
In theory, making something technically superior to Windows really shouldn't be that hard.
