Some of us are forced to use it because Red Hat removed support for KDE.

Being forced to switch from KDE to Gnome was a very painful transition. Having the Dash to Panel and Dash to Dock extensions was the only thing that made it palatable.

Vanilla Gnome may be fine as a streamlined tablet OS for casual web browsing but it is not suitable to doing real desktop work.

Why not? What are you missing?
A proper taskbar. Needing to install a third party extension to achieve the type of taskbar that has been expected from desktop OSes for the past 20 years is lunacy. I was fortunate to be able to get my IT dept to allow third party extensions when we moved to RHEL 8, but I'm sure most in the corporate world aren't so fortunate.
Sounds like a skill issue.
