I'm just curious but what were the issues with a few of elementary OS's core decisions that you have? I know personally I'm not a fan of Ubuntu or that it's the LTS version too but I know that you can use Pantheon, it's desktop environment, on other distros (something I have been considering myself).

It's been awhile since I've tried it, but the first thing that comes to mind is not being able to put a file on the desktop. I completely understand and even vaguely agree with their reasoning, I stopped putting icons on my desktops maybe 10 years ago? But sometimes I just want to put a temporary file on my desktop as a visual reminder to finish something up later. In this case it's not the same class of 'bug' as the missing thumbnails in gnome's file picker, it was a deliberate design decision, and I respect that the project thought about the experience they want to create and executed on that vision. It's just not the experience for me.
