Users complaining about design choices is not the same as a distribution
deciding to not work with a project. Users have complained about Gnome 3,
KDE Plasma, and Unity over the past decade and with good reason. Personally I
don't care for any of them and use a tiling window manager.

So my question remains what other distributions have had this friction
(from whichever side) with the Gnome project that Canonical did?
Gnome isn't the only project Canonical has had a difficult relationship
with.
