Let’s see why: Why People Hate on GNOME The main reason, I think, why people hate on GNOME is the fact that it feels very alien to them. They don’t know how to handle something so weird and unusual and they resort to negativity as their only way of coping with it. Of course, some people just don’t like the way GNOME handles certain tasks, and they resort to using more traditional environments, like KDE, Xfce, and Cinnamon.
