Look, if everyone just decided on a style and everyone went with it within a system I’d be okay with that. It’s not great but at least it wouldn’t be jarring.
But having to live by the whim of 50 different app designers is disgusting. I just want to have a good time, not learn 50 different interfaces.
Though my thoughts on it would also stifle new ideas. So that’s bad.
Enhancement? No, everything I have a problem with is explicitly intended behavior and GNOME devs are infamous for their everyone is stupid except me mentality
Does Gnome/GTK have an issue board where users vote on issues?
Free software development is not a democracy, and does not get driven by polls. Features and bugs are introduced by those who show up, within a community that works towards a shared goal.
I don’t believe the intentional behavior is desirable and would like to see what other users think.
That’s a dick way of saying fuck off but I mean they do provide a free service. If they have a vision and don’t want to deal with random people whining about it that’s their prerogative. Same as yours to find that utterly insufferable.
They do provide a free service (GTK’s file chooser), one that I find horrible and inconsistent (as per the thread) and intentionally so (on issues tangential to example that I found, although the proposed configurable behavior would be nice) - so I won’t even entertain the thought of trying and contributing to it, as it has been suggested.
I don’t know what is insufferable about that, other than the initial criticism…

Try GNOME/GTK/adwaita apps. They are very consistent.
The GTK file chooser is probably the worst AND most inconsistent example of UX that I’ve ever seen
Contribute! Maybe you get a part of the 1 million Euro they got from the Sovereign Tech Fund.
Contribute with UX changes? To GNOME maintained software?
When it’s an enhancement?

Edit, found a neat lil’ example:
