That may be what you think but, since some time now, it's not what most active core GNOME contributors are aiming to. Yes, GNOME should be an OS. Yes, GNOME should define the final user experience. Why? Because doing software without *well* defined boundaries is a technical maintenance nightmare (especially in a free software project with the usual lack of human resources) and will never yield the kind of cohesive, fluid experience that IMO constitutes the GNOME vision.
