>Gnome is still the default GUI on a lot of operating systems

The one statement does not contradict the other. For one, any operating system that uses Gnome as its GUI besides Linux has an insignificant user population (FreeBSD, NetBSD, etc).




I suspect that the grandparent post was using 'operating systems' to mean 'GNU/Linux distribution'.

One of the things that I like about the GNU/Linux 'ecosystem' (by which I mean the plethora of distributions and the various packages available within the repositories of those distributions) is the huge array of choice, especially for devising a GUI that fits the user.

I accept that the 'sensible default' issue is real.
