I just can't get used to GNOME. I've been using "classic" DEs for too long, so every time I try GNOME I start customizing it and end up withh a worse version of KDE
I struggled with that for ages, eventually someone said I should give a serious go of vanilla Gnome for a while and if it doesn't work out, get something else because I was trying to force Gnome to be like the Win95 UX paradigm that pretty much everyone else uses, when that's not what it was made for.
I took their advice. I tried vanilla gnome and was infuriated by it. It made me angry to use my PC. Until after a couple of days, it just clicked all of a sudden and made so much sense.
Now I find the workflow amazing. It just gets out of my way and puts the actual programs I need to use centre-stage. Honestly, lightyears ahead of anything else I've used.
I'm glad KDE has added an experimental activities view option, because that's the main thing I miss when I'm not using Gnome.
I tried to do that as well but I realized, that my main use of my Linux desktop which is gaming and having a second screen for whatever else on the side, so usually two fullscreen applications at all times isn't that well served. I'm sure if I used my PC for more serious multitasking and had limited screen space I would be avle to appreciate Gnome better.
