Gnome has stagnated significantly.

The Gnome desktop that shipped with Solaris over two decades ago is just as useful, possibly more useful, as the tablet-oriented hamburger menu UI of today.

Yes, two decades: https://adtmag.com/articles/2003/08/04/solaris-gets-a-gnome-...

I'm not sure this is bad? It's still maintained, and it isn't like there are frequent revolutions in UI design - if it works, it works.

Slow and boring is a pretty nice place to be.

The people on the Red Hat desktop team that work on GNOME are killing it. I think you might not be paying attention. Not every change is visible.

If only it had stagnated around gnome 2.0.

MATE exists. You can use it right now.

		I do. It's great that the UI is stagnated, but unfortunately the UX is too. Things like bluetooth not being integrated with the DE, and various details that we take for granted not working correctly

Has it? I feel like Gnome has made great progress the last few years

GTK is still alive. It seems like Cosmic desktop with GTK apps will be a reasonable path forward. Of course there's KDE and QT, but I mean as an alternative to those.

		Cosmic isn't there yet. I don't use GNOME but at least it works.

Could that be due to increased popularity of KDE?

Linux on the desktop isn't a lucrative business
