The whole GNOME desktop for one. All of a sudden it seems like every PC became a tablet.
> what are the negative effects of them?
Loss of features and the rich control and customization normally afforded by a desktop computing experience. You know, the things that made it better than a tablet experience.
> What are some "traditional lifestyles"
Using KDE or Windows, where the minimize button never went away, where you have a taskbar with a tray, which shows you little tray programs that often have no durable windows outside of their tray menu -- not should they need to. Not trying to hack functionality back in via extensions that break so often that it feels like they're meant to condition you into not trying to change some Apple fanboy's Design Philosophy. My phone originally autocorrected that to Pathology, and I shouldn't have changed it.
> and how might you suggest they be promoted?
No promotion is needed, things will balance out as people realize how bad GNOME and GTK are. Projects are switching to Qt, not away from it, and KDE's market share is often reported as big as or bigger than GNOME's despite GNOME being the default in all the big distros whereas KDE is something people have to seek out on their own.
