It depends on your needs and workflow. Personally I spend most of my time on my laptop in the terminal, browser, email and one or two other apps like Discord. I just want something that is simple and stays out of my way and I don't want to spend my time crafting the perfect desktop. Stock Fedora+Gnome with a couple extensions pretty much covers all my needs.

Other users have different expectations and needs and perhaps KDE suits them better, and maybe they are happy spending hours fine-tuning their desktop experience. All good and I'm happy we all get to have a choice.

Sounds similar to my needs and workflow, and yet GNOME always feels to me like it requires me to spend hours fine-tuning it, finding extensions that make simple things possible and tweaks that aren't exposed anywhere by default to make it usable - while Plasma works fine out-of-box and I'm not worried about little things I do like to tweak in my desktop because I can be reasonably certain that I'll be able to quickly reconfigure things whenever I get annoyed by them.

However, I do like to use GNOME on my phone (with phosh as a shell). It fits there quite nicely and IMO feels better than Plasma.
