No sudden changes? Gnome3 was a pox and broke literally everything. The entire family of touch friendly interfaces on non touch systems can fall into a black hole, and the world would be better for it.

There's really no reason for this inflammatory response and starting a flame war Obviously, others disagree with you. The world would not be better if everyone conformed to your view of what a UI should be

  I hear people complaining about gnome3 the same way I heard people complaining about kde4. Then I get happy when I reason that these events occurred more than a decade ago.

  Parent comment was about Gnome3 stability and lack of change. I dispute that premise.

    You dispute a comment about Gnome3 stability with a counter-example about how it "broke" Gnome2?

Make all your Gnome windows maximized and it's the next best thing to i3, except way more polished and stable.

  "polished" is subjective enough that I won't say you're wrong (although I don't agree), but how can you be more stable than i3, in any sense? It doesn't leak memory (https://feaneron.com/2018/04/20/the-infamous-gnome-shell-memory-leak/ https://feaneron.com/2018/04/20/the-infamous-gnome-shell-mem...), it doesn't crash, it doesn't change (UI/UX is a kind of stable, too), and it can seamlessly restart itself in place without any disruption to the actual user session.

None of that was true when I last used i3. YMMV.
