Development quote of the week

I think user research is generally under-valued in open source (and in software more generally, for that matter), and I think GNOME has shown great leadership on this front. Even though I'm unlikely to ever switch from Plasma, I admire their vision and dedication to making an ergonomic desktop, and their willingness not to sacrifice that vision in the face of a few vocal dissenters.

(I don't want to make too much of a dig at those dissenters - it's perfectly reasonable to have a different view on the appropriate balance of the costs and benefits of customisability - but it does take a certain amount of strength to stay your course in the face of that opposition)
