The fact that on KDE you're able to achieve a consistent look across Qt and GTK2/3 apps ootb, but not on GNOME, should tell you a lot. And then GTK4 comes along, and you basically can't make it look consistent. Not even their titlebars, since they're now CSD. All of this is sad, I genuinely think GNOME has something good in there. I try every new release. And, there is a pretty good work flow there. But, I always hit some sort of a wall, impeding my enjoyment. For example: - The inability to drag and drop files from the file roller to nautilus (as said on the article) - Alt-tabbing groups apps and requires you to use your mouse or the arrow keys (of all things) to specify which window to change to - Full screen video still leads to strange frame pacing and/or tearing (due to unredirect fullscreen windows) - Still no good way to interact with background apps that use a tray icon by default (I know they now allow background apps to be interacted with, via the power menu, but it's simply a worse experience. Also, app developers need to account for this and develop this feature specifically for GNOME, instead of just doing it the standard way everyone else does it) - Touchpad multi-touch gestures aren't supported in X11, even though other projects (Touchégg) demonstrated that it's possible - Having to search for a newly installed app 2 times before it appearing in your apps list (Xfce, KDE, Cinnamon work the first time. Is it that difficult to refresh the cached apps list?) You can always install extensions to make the experience better, but they almost always need to be updated to account for new releases that have breaking changes. (Edit: formatting)
