Gnome 3 is really really bad. It is so bad that it actually makes me want to use Windows 10 instead.

Context: i've been using Xfce4 for the last 4-5 years and recently had to use Gnome3.x because of RHEL. Since I've a recent Gnome, I decided to also try a recent KDE.

Well...

- XFCE manages to be consistently fast and overall a joy to use

- KDE is getting usable again after the KDE4.0 mess. Still too much gummy by default, but it's so customizable that you can turn off most of the trash that is enabled by default.

- Gnome really looks like it has been designed for and tested against mentally challenged people. It's infuriating, most of its utilities lack menus and basic options/settings, to the point where having a GUI is more of an impediment rathen than being something useful.

I am very worried by the fact that Ubuntu is reverting back to Gnome.

I wanted to use it [edit: i.e. Gnome] in order to slim down my heavy configuration. But just not worth it. All I do is use two GUI programs, and it managed to get in the way. XFCE gets bonus points for its configuration being in plain text and version controllable. I had to have this for Gnome: https://github.com/cadadr/configuration/blob/master/scripts/... https://github.com/cadadr/configuration/blob/master/xdg-conf...
