Everyone is praising GNOME here. Am I the only one who thinks that it's not polished enough? I'm using it on my laptop and it kind of works most of the time. But there are occasional bugs arising here and there. I even sometimes think that I'm the first user otherwise how come nobody noticed those (sometimes very obvious) bugs. If 26 isn't fixing them, apparently I'll have to move back to the Cinnamon spin.

I think GNOME 3 has come a long way but years later I'm still bothered by their killing type-ahead navigation in the file dialog and replacing it with search -- however useful searching may be (and despite recent improvements), it slows me down greatly, and often leads to mistakes, when I know where something is and simply want to navigate to it.

Plenty of discussion about this [0] [1] but the GNOME devs don't want it back, for various reasions.

Ubuntu has always patched it back in, but it looks like they will drop it in 17.10 if nobody steps up to maintain the patch [2].

Yes, i got some little things here and there, but in general it's a very good experience working in gnome these days and fedora took it to a whole new level of polish.

No, you are not alone.

Or at least I spotted a number of usability issues last time I tried gnome (last week, latest Ubuntu).
