Right, patterns can only work if there are not too many of them. But why are the GoF ones still the most popular ones? Some of them are now considered as antipatterns by many people (Singleton, Builder, etc.). This should make room for new, more useful patterns without increasing the total number.

Yes, and it sometimes seems like modern software engineering relates to GoF like medieval scholastics relates to Aristotle.
