I just installed fedora and I agree. Why would I want my whole screen to shrink everything every time I want to do something? I can’t even open an app without all the stuff shuffling around and back. Why can’t I see the dock when I bring my cursor to the bottom of the screen? Oh wait I have to go all the way up there to activities to see it. What windows do I have open? Oh wait I gotta go to activities again. How do I minimize something? Idk, no button. Double click? No that’s just maximize. I guess I can only close stuff. It’s almost like someone decided that we needed yet another “way “ of doing things instead of conforming to what people are used to.

Wow. I didn't realise things were that bad. I stopped trying out other DEs years ago. I quit KDE after the v4 trash fire (2008), quit Gnome after v3 (2011) and had a year long affair with Openbox (nice, but needs too much work to get basics working). I settled down with XFCE about 7 years ago and never looked back (or forward). Nothing is perfect, but at least XFCE doesn't wreck my flow after an upgrade, and I can script most things I care about and attach them to keyboard shortcuts or triggers.
