GNOME 3 has not accomplished anything to deserve an award.

While I do agree that its interface works great on touch based devices, it is not nor will it ever be optimized for PCs and laptops. Perhaps this is a sign that GNOME will slowly abandon PC users. Perhaps its time we act first and abandon GNOME.

It seems like you're directing your anger at the wrong person. Tell me. Are you happy in your life? You seem to be stressed about a trivial comment on the internet. I wonder how you handle yourself in the real world.
