    They’re an old spec from 2002

    They’re useful, “old” is no excuse. Mobile OS have something similiar. No, don’t create a new spec, you’re bad at that kind of thing.

    They’re too small to click for people with increased accessibility needs

    Make them bigger? I can do that on XFCE.

    They serve the needs of app publishers (making their app visible at all times), not those of the user

    There are too many of them

    Again, they are useful to the user. Just give the user a way to control which to display or not.

    They look bad

    Your design team sucks

    And that’s why i don’t like Gnome (and Gtk for that matter); they prioritize their skewed visions over everything else, including usability.

      the above tl;dr forgot something massive: all current protocols are unsafe (e.g. need exporting the entirety of org.kde.* in dbus) and/or only work on X11
