I honestly think so, but I'm not surprised some losers here at HN down voted my comment.

There's many things to not like with Gnome, but they've got the user interface figured out. Contrast is correct both in light mode and dark mode. Readability is excellent. Margins and paddings are consistent across the board. Buttons, checkboxes and other gizmos look exactly as they should, with subtle shadows and 3D effects. Border radiuses are consistent and not to large.

Icons are not great, but that's the same on all desktop environments now. OS X had great icons, but that age is over.

And since they have all the important basics correct, it is trivial to fix any short comings in the UI. The team deserves praise for what they've achieved.

You're sabotaging hard your own messaging with comments like this.

I don't concern myself too much, the value of votes are zero anyway, and the value of people who down vote is zero as well as far as I'm concerned. I have never down voted anything another person has written, I just think it's base behaviour.

		You have at least one insignificant person on your side. I similarly almost never downvote. But they disabled my voting ability because I upvoted too generously. There are many cruel and pugnacious creatures here. Indeed, it's best to remain indifferent, lest... behavioral modification ensue, and one become strange.

Yeah, the first rule of HN is that you don't talk about downvotes/censoring.
