Far from me the intention to do bad justice to GNOME, as I’m not really a fan of it, I can only represent it poorly
But if the say ‘configurability is a burden’ among the GNOME folks then it explain a lot
GNOME is not my project, so I have no say to what direction they want with it, or how they do things
More configurations means more code, more bugs, more entanglements to solve, more security exposure, more time consuming, bad architecture choices will make you go back in time, …etc
So yes, I agree that it’s a burden for developers, but in the end, the lack of configuration becomes a burden for users
(that more the point I wanted to make rather than a rant on GNOME)
