“We do <thing > because we always did before <thing 2>” is not a good point
I didn’t mean it in a “this is better way”. I’m just saying that Wayland was designed around the idea of client side decorations, not server side decorations. Gnome has stuck to the more purist vision of Wayland, which makes sense since I believe they were its biggest proponent.
yeah, but the point of a platform are the applications it supports, you don’t want to be The King of Nothing. If even after buying into wayland, applications still work bad on gnome because they expect to get support for X, than gnome needs X or to give a better option (better for the applications, not just according to themselves).
