Lester: Not knowing the team developers I can't rule out malevolence but not fitting into their view seems more likely a matter of indifference on their part. In an open-source world, it's easy to strike the attitude "well, if you don't like what we are doing, do it yourself." In other parts of the Linux biosphere this hasn't been such a bad thing but in the matter of graphical desktop environments, the underlying complexities and the inter-dependencies with applications are so great that it is practically infeasible for every person to roll their own.
