> Then I'm wondering what is the point of still using GNOME as main DE if Ubuntu devs don't like it.

We don't, we use Unity as our main DE (even if it's using a lot of GNOME techs)

> Is it a good approach to patch everything in GNOME to adapt it to the Unity context?

No, that's why as said we are reducing our number of patching when we can

> GNOME is taking is own road and I believe in future these projects will divert so much that some simple patches won't be enough

right, which is why Unity is moved from a patched GNOME session and why you can get back GNOME upstream look and feel in Ubuntu (still some work to do but we plan to continue in that direction)
