Can you explain the aesthetic reasoning for GNOME?
if i remember correctly when 3.40 was supposed to launch they just decided to drop the 3
Simple, OP and some people just don't know what they are talking about. There was no "aesthetic reason".
One of the big changes in GNOME 40 (that would be 3.40) was the introduction of GTK4. People used to assume that the gnome major versioning scheme was tied to GTK, so loads of people were asking the devs when GNOME 4 was coming out.
To demistify this idea of one being tied to the other they just dropped the "3.", specially since that part wasn't that relevant and started with the 40.
women and gay men crave the big numbers
People in general crave the big numbers. It's why Microsoft is so weird with Xbox naming. Having the Xbox 360 compete with the PlayStation 3 Vs "Xbox 2".
Firefox also started inflating version numbers because the high version numbers Chrome was using made it look more updated.
