This is not bait, I'm just genuinely curious. I've used XFCE4, Cinnamon, MATE and a bit of i3, and I find GNOME3 to be in another league compared to the others.
So please, use my desktop, a minimally configured GNOME3 experience as a reference and point out the bad stuff.
Try to lay of the toxicity and give constructive criticism instead.

I can't give you an answer, but i've tried pretty much everything and the only one that i really enjoy is i3wm.
Shit defaults. No thumbnail in the file picker. Extremely bloated. Qt is objectively superior to GTK.

If it is not a tiling wm it is not right.
Gnome also lacks the customizability of KDE, which one reason why I would personally never use gnome.
With KDE you can do literally anything that you want, even something functionally the same as your desktop.
Gnome is just very limiting and most of the features you don't like you just have to deal with.
I personally hate any kind of window decoration (except a small border) and complicated launchers that hides programs behind layer upon layer.

One reason is because Unity IMO is superior to Gnome 3 because of it's global menu and implementation of merging the title bar and task bar together when a program is in fullscreen mode. I think Unity's implementation of the global menu is even better than MacOS.
The second reason is that Gnome3 title bars are just too big. If someone released an extension that allowed users to easily adjust the size of the tile bars, Gnome would be a lot more usable.
I don't hate it but it has annoying ass bugs. Like having to click twice in the shutdown button menu or the incomplete update icon in the tray. This is all stuff that was reported at least 6 months ago with no resolution

The fact that Unity is deprecated doesn't imply Gnome Shell is somehow better, maybe in 5 years it could compete, now it's just an inferior alternative, see >>61094812

This picture is NOT an exaggeration of the GNOME developers. This is the main problem. They think they know better than you and they are NOT open to discussion.
>>61099285
True, and since they get funding from Red Hat they just don't give a shit, plus they play nicely with the FSF so they won't even say a word, truly pathetic.
>>61099285
yea, pretty much learned this when I tried to use a screensaver on modern gnome
>>61099273
Unity couldn't compete, who's next?
