Woo, it has all the old hits. It's the Princess Bride of threads with conspiracy theories, systemd hate, X11 romance, GNOME 1 supremacy - it's like I stepped back in time largely because they are still battling old grievances from 20 years ago.

Oh there are so many wonderful hilarious quotes from that thread. Makes me laugh.
"MATE and XFCE are fine for the vast majority of users. For everyone else who needs that last 3% of functionality there's KDE. GNOME has run its course and should be allowed to die in irrelevance for what it did to us regarding systemd."
KDE is only worth 3% over the functionality of MATE and XFCE.
