Man, great news no. GNOME has users accustomed to the fact that joys come in (very) small jars.
And I say this as a GNOME user, who despite everything I still recognize that it is the most productive and comfortable desktop.
Question of opinions.
For my Gnome years ago it came with sadness in family size jars.
