ubuntu-docs or gnome-user-docs for Ubuntu 17.10?

Since the main purpose of using GNOME is unifying infrastructure, that 
decision seems the obvious one to me.

I feel the GNOME desktop environment is badly designed. Its approach to 
minimalism is too extreme, and this is said by someone who only owns two 
sets of clothing and a pair of shoes.

Moreover its unstable, it continually breaks things without fixing them. 
It has the culture of accumulating bugs, and saying that's agile 
development.

It isn't agile development. Agile development is just the opposite: 
changing things one by one and testing immediately, so there's as little 
rework as possible.

You are better re-factoring Unity 8 to work on Wayland, and making it 
easy to deploy in any Linux distribution. The root problem isn't that 
the product is bad on itself, but basically that you are cooking your 
own food.

You aren't failing on the technology, but on the basics. Understanding 
that decisions should be versatile, easy to change, platform neutral, 
and long lasting.
