    I have used XFCE, KDE, and GNOME and in my opinion, Gnome provides by far the best the best workflow for me. The UI is very keyboard-driven, which makes navigation very fast and intuitive. Also it doesn’t look like an outdated Windows version (like Plasma or XFCE) and I had way fewer bugs with it than with any other desktop.

    I find it interesting how everyone always talks about the „Unix philosophy“ („software should do one thing and do it well“) but at the same time everyone likes Plasma for having hundreds of useless, buggy features.

    Gnome has a core featureset and a robust extension-system if you need more. There is no bloatware in Gnome. And please don’t tell me something like „Gnome isn’t usable without a taskbar/dock“. It is, lots of people use it that way, not every desktop needs to be like macOS or Windows.

    Of course it’s okay to like another desktop environment more, but I just don’t get why Gnome gets so much hate.

    I've used GNOME for a year now.

    I don't understand people calling GNOME keyboard-driven, it doesn't even support keyboard shortcuts for more than 4 workspaces, and it doesn't support tiling other than left and right.

    I also feel like the plugin system is not great. The plugins break on every.single.update and you have to beg the maintainers to update them.

    I agree about a dock/taskbar miss me with that :P

    What frustrates me about GNOME is that it's otherwise so well-polished and smooth but just refuses to be easily customizable.
