The problem with GNOME "researched and thought-out opinions" is that they often require all apps to follow it to work well. They ignore use cases involving non-GNOME apps (case in point - systray), but using only GNOME apps is extremely limited.

I used GNOME as my main IDE since v2.4 (2003), but slowly grew frustrated with the changes until the v40 was a bit too much and finally gave KDE a chance (after several previous tries which did not convince me). KDE was finally mature and stable, it took maybe 30 minutes to configure it to my liking - I don't think I had to change the config since then.
