> On the other hand Gnome3 is the first Linux desktop that I think is really non power user friendly. I think Plasma and Cinnamon also belong in this group.

  Considering Cinnamon is a fork of Gnome 3, it seems to be significant evidence of Gnome 3's influence. And Plasma was first released in 2014, 3 years after Gnome 3. Gnome 3 had a HUGE affect on desktop environments, due to Gnome 2's popularity.

    Plasma's predecessor (KDE 3) is closer to Gnome that Plasma itself. Plasma is as close to an antithesis of Gnome as you could get (outside of tiling window managers) - everything is customizable/extensible

    Cinnamon basically makes Gnome feel more like Windows.

  I need to spend more time trying other things - I got bored of distro hopping years ago when I discovered that Fedora would mostly Just Work. One thing I will say is that it's not just down to the desktop - all the main pieces need to be good and compatible and configured correctly for an overall smooth and intuitive experience. Gnome on Fedora does that.
