I really don't get it. What's wrong with gnome? Where exactly are the sharp edges on gnome that you cut yourself on? Or what exactly is the missing feature that is important to your flow? Is it just the vibe? Every criticism of gnome I've seen is just so unspecific and vague that it seems more like group virtue signalling than anything else.

There are a lot of sharp unfriendly edges to GNOME, like having to use GConf to customize keyboard shortcuts, not being able to change mouse scroll speed (note for people who have difficulty understanding English: scroll speed is not pointer speed. Scroll speed is how fast you can scroll with the scroll wheel, not how fast the pointer moves over the screen. These are not the same things), not being able to set date+time format to DayOfWeek YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm, applications not having friendly menu bars with a clear and obvious "Help" menu, frequent breakage of user extensions,... some of those may seem like small nitpicks, but they add up.
