Gnome is very competently made except it’s made for a different genre of person to me, and their attitude towards customisation is outright disdainful. You install an extension or mess around in tweaks and gnome looks at you like you just used the salad fork for seafood.

I think it’s made for people who like Macs or sth.

Wouldn’t be a problem(people can use whatever makes them happy) if the gnome Devs shit attitude didn’t trickle outwards and harm customizability in other environments.

Serious question. Why is there an expectation that your DE should be customizable? Isn’t the fact that you can choose one in the first place a customization?

Customization is necessary especially in the free software space because designers aren’t good enough to make acceptable defaults.

I love KDE, but each new install takes a bit of fiddling to get it just the way I want.
