Just today I switched from Ubuntu to Pop_OS (I hate that name). Unity was giving me some trouble as it's starting to conflict with all the newer stuff so I had to make a decision.
I dislike Gnome Shell. It's clean and fast but the GUI is "locked" to the main monitor and I can't even switch windows without looking at it.
But I love how the distro is made focusing on a good user experience. To give you an example, the shop (software center) allows me to choose between deb packages and flatpak if available. Sounds like something obvious, but after having snaps shovelled down my throat when I was thinking I was installing deb packages, this means I can finally trust my distro again.
Now the only thing I need is a good DE. Maybe the next decade.

In case you didn't know, check out the workspaces feature, it can make managing lots of windows much easier via the keyboard: - Change Workspace: ctrl + alt + up/down - Move Window to Workspace: ctrl + alt + shift + up/down You can lock a workspace to a particular monitor too, while cycling other monitors
