    Why do they keep changing the thing? Linux mint Cinnamon desktop has kept the same look and I appreciate that.

      New manager need to prove themselves -> can’t do that by small improvements -> dreams up major changes -> gets promoted -> repeat

      Is my guess

        ^ this guy corporates

        Also, new manager would be part owner in a UX design firm of “experts” that conveniently, via their expert advice, convince management that a major redesign is needed and their firm is the only one that can do it (since everyone knows you can’t get expert advice internally)

        80% of the way through the project, the manager gets promoted and moves on, leaving a new manager with no vested interest in their predecessors project to try and clean up the steaming dumpster fire that is now 300x over budget

      and why do they keep making it as actively shitty as they possibly can?

      like, I get it, there was room for improvement back when it was just ‘good’. they filled all that room with crap.

      the good things about crap, though? nitrogen, phosphorous.
