Gnome as DE is extremely poor in a "non-windows management" software. Native file manager has no two panels mode, no tabs, thumbnails are too small to be useful

Gnome as DE is extremely poor in a "non-windows management" software. Native file manager has no two panels mode, no tabs, thumbnails are too small to be useful. Pdf reader is nothing in comparison with Okular. Terminal... terminal is outdated in comparison with Konsole (no ligatures, for example). The all good points about Gnome are in windows management. KDE's WM is very flexible, of course, you can tune it as you want, or not tune it at all, but Gnome has some hard explained _cuteness_ of windows management. But no more. Because we need more applications than a cute windows management :(

Last time I tried to Gnome I had to copy a file to `/opt/`, but that location wasn't listed in it's file manager, Nautilus. Clicking on the current location didn't work and I couldn't find an address bar anywhere. On a whim I've tried to CTRL+L, which worked, to my surprise. Something like that makes your product feel extremely unpolished to a novice user. While it was probably made that way with a reason.
