    Other than that, 99% of my daily use of a linux is independent of any DE. I actually don’t even care what DE it is. Just give me a Terminal Emulator and a graphical desktop to run software.

    Do you realize how far you are from the average computer user? DEs and GUIs are very important for most people, and are one of the biggest “selling factors” for attracting new users.

        I see your point, but things get more complicated than that, because there are different design choices in many DEs, and you can’t simply change the design choices of an existing project. Some, like gnome, are particularly inflexible in that aspect, and won’t add some features, even if there’s a high user demand.
