To be succinct: this is not OSX/Windows. True Unix and Unix clones can be decoupled from a desktop environment enough that forcing everyone to have one choice for desktop user experience doesn't make sense, and the fact that there isn't a common GUI development toolkit (GTK, QT, etc) encourages fragmentation of effort further (I think it's called the Bazaar model of development :P).
That's all true. But do anyone understand why there is still so much pressure for every open source OS and specifically *BSD on "default desktop environment" or similar ideas?
Such a pressure exist for 20 years at least, and - between other results - started demise of linux as trusty high performance system.
Why people still not learned from faults and keep harming good open source projects that way?
