I think this is just a rant over Gnome by Clem (Linux Mint creator), also I don't want to be unpolite but Mint is just a refried version of Ubuntu that tends to break in most fields. 

For me is the same "problem" with arch and its derivatives, they cannot follow upstream. Gnome is nice and Gnome devs are not responsible of 3rd party themes/whatever, i mean of course upstream gnome can have broke things, but is known that sticking with upstream has its pros and cons.
