That's fine, I'm not going to take that away from you since I've heard great things about Wayland with the proper hardware for it. As for GNOME, I don't think it's terrible, but it does definitely feel like a regression to me when compared with GNOME 3.3x or GNOME Classic. It's perfectly fine to like it (computer UIs are still opinionated after all), but I feel like their leadership is heading in an undesirable direction for a huge chunk of GNOME loyalists. GNOME 3.38 felt like home to me for a long time, but 40 never clicked. Plus, their "my way or the highway" mentality doesn't work well when combined with their lack of contributors and overall supremacist, absolutist viewpoint on the desktop as a whole.

I do still like certain aspects of GNOME, but I worry for their future under the current leadership.
