I know this will be an unpopular idea but I like the direction gnome is following. I think it is becoming a solid and reliable OS, it has much fewer bugs than KDE, it's getting faster update after update and I like libadwaita to have consistent windows styles. It was frustrating to have ten different windows style, in particular on a 4k monitor. Gnome has a solid core system and we can download or develop extensions if something other is missing.
What's wrong with it? |

I love how they spread out the UI and using whitespace, makes things a lot clearer and it's easier to focus your attention on the right thing.
I love not having minimize, there really is no need for it.
However I do feel that some apps should have more features (tree style navigation & double/multiple panes in files/nautilus, evince actually should have proper annotating tools). Stuff that KDE manages much better, albeit in a sea of completely flat and borderless buttons with cramped intefaces in a quest of maximizing information shown.
edit: I think that really the thing to manage in an interface is how & how much info should be shown & how to make it (kind of) intuitive/discoverable. I honestly don't think that the second part has been well addressed by any UI (not MacOS, not Windows, not Linux DEs), for the first part I think GNOME is a lot closer to how it should be, than say KDE or Windows (I don't really use MacOS, don't know).
