Yes. GNOME is great, but you better learn the logic behind it, it's not a DE that adjusts well to the user, it's actually the opposite, but if you get the gist of it, it works wonders.
Yeah that's why I hate Gnome, they have ideas about how you should use your computer and those ideas aren't yours.
The way I see it, they have a proposal to make to you as a user. This is Linux, fortunately. There are plenty of choices to make, so you can try i3 or Sway to make things go exactly your way.
for me, gnome seemed unnecessarily cumbersome to use with its minimalism
