So, why should GNOME support server side decorations? (blister.zip)

an article explaining why GNOME should support SSD, but also arguing against the reasons often given for why they shouldn't

If someone could repost this to r/GNOME I would appreciate it, since I don't have a reddit account.

This is the biggest issue with CSDs aside from the wasted space coming from oversized buttons. Every developer's gonna put different, inconsistent things in that title bar.

The close window button is basically universal, but what if I want to minimize the application? What if I want to pin it to all workspaces, stack it on top of other windows, or roll it up? With CSDs there are no standards.
