    amdgpu driver does not even support r9 280 officially

          If you compare it to Win 3.1 then ok. However, even Win 3.1 is more usable in few things. Gnome is bloated, slow and terrible mess. What's current language developers should use for writing gnome applications? Vala? Dead. Python? Damn slow. C#? Slow and bloated crap. Thanks God we have KDE and Unity.

            If people haw to use JavaScript extensions (reliant on virtually non-existent documentation) in order to get basic functionality, than clearly the system is broken.

                1) basic functionality does not need any extension. only "i want it to look like windows" needs an extension
                2) people need neither documentation nor javascript. they need to press install button in browser
                3) how javascript extension is worse than any extension for your browser?

                    Don't forget basic things like adding launcher Icons and re-arranging things on the panels, things that are taken for granted in GNOME 2 and just about every other DE.

                    Yeah but programmers do, without decent documentation the best people can do is hack away.

                    No worse than Python or anything else, its just telling that an extra programming layer and runtime is needed to produce a basic extension to offer functionality that can be done in other DEs without any programming hacks.

                      programmers of extensions, users of extensions just enable extensions. same shit with programmers of any de.

                      1) basic functionality is available without extensions. i am using zero extensions
                      2) all de's are written exclusively with programming hacks. the only choice is whether devs shove their hacks down user's throats unconditionally or not
                      3) i assume you are using web browser without support for extensions, what is its name lol?
