Absolutely, GNU+Linux _is ALL about choice_: do you know how to fork and
chance a feature you want to see implemented in another way? Go and do it.
Don't you like it at all? Don't use it, no one is forcing you or pushing a
gun on your back. If GNOME devs thinks the way they do things is the right
way then there you have, there's nothing more to say about that.

There are PLENTY of options in GNU+Linux to suit almost every taste, not to
mention within the big Ubuntu family itself that sports very much all - if
not all - of them, it's just to you to have a minimum of will to make some
research.

Ubuntu (Unity), Kubuntu (KDE), Xubuntu (Xfce), Lubuntu (LXDE), Ubuntu GNOME
- and derivatives: Mint, Bodhi (Enlightenment), Studio... if that isn't
choice, what is? To pay for a privative close-source OS where you don't
have the chance to know what's really going in there and to still be
limited to the way you're supposed to use it?

I rather prefer to donate the same amount of money I would spend on such
OSs to the F/LOSS projects I care.
