Actually the polite comment was: "It is my hope that you are a GNOME app", or, more fully,

I guess you have to decide if you are a GNOME app, an Ubuntu app, or an XFCE app unfortunately. I'm sorry that this is the case but it wasn't GNOME's fault that Ubuntu has started this fork... It is my hope that you are a GNOME app.

to which Charles of Transmission responded

*speechless*

Presumably Charles was rendered speechless by the extraordinary politeness of McCann! So unusual these days.

I don't think it is polite to create a false trichotomy (is that a word?) pretending you can be only for one desktop. I suspect the transmission team wants to create a great app for their users, whatever platform these users wish to use. The GNOME developers seem to care little about that and force that attitude on others. Luckily, more and more projects respond with a big, fat middle finger and move to Qt.
