They don’t play with the other kids nice. They share when its everybody else’s turn only.
I have thought for ages that Ubuntu seem to get a bunch of credit for the hard work of some dedicated gnome hackers, working predominantly for Redhat and Novell and a bit of energy spent on theming (can we get over brown please). I know that is not entirely fair, the 1 CD live/install thing is pretty smart.
But Ubuntu is the most popular distro for users, and that to me seems unhealthy. A huge user base all running a distro which really does nothing to aid the development of Linux on a community wide level.
Update:
I know This article is talking about Kernel, X.org and system level development, not a mention of gnome. The above is just my observation.
