Gnome is Rethinking Window Management
(blogs.gnome.org)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

the gnome design philosophy had been defined for a long time now. it's not just one or two people making gnome like software and forcing people to use their design.
it's people coming together to create user aligned software of you want to mod the heck out of it you can but it always provided a stable base
