Good!

Bad!  It's not 'donated' (implying a one-way material transaction) and
the developers might be l33t but they're not elite - it's not about
status. ;)

Perhaps:

"GNOME is complete easy-to-use software for your personal computer
created, by a large community of people from all walks of life, to be
freely used by anybody, anywhere."

(Also 'easy-to-use' and 'intuitive' are interchangable.)
