Its good for people who like the one very specific workflow they go for.
My main problem with it is they cause problems for like every other DE. GTKs insistence on only supporting CSD makes any GTK app integrate so much worse on anything else. (Vice versa having no fallback ssd, so apps are just broken on gnome if the toolkit doesn't support CSD)
Or all the problems it's caused with various Wayland protocols by refusing to compromise or saying nothing until it's almost finalized then coming out against them.
Like Valve explicitly calls out gnome as unsupported because they refused to implement DRM leasing for years.
I don't dislike gnome because of the software itself, opinionated projects are good, even when I have different opinions. I dislike gnome because I think it's a net negative to the Linux ecosystem as a whole.
