Avoiding complexity, mostly. Sometimes simplicity is the right choice, sometimes it's the wrong choice, but it's often the most stable choice. Stable programs are easy to maintain, localize and secure.
I don't agree with everything GNOME does (like, how do we still not have a stable extensions API?), but I daily drive it because it gets out of my way. For development purposes it's perfectly suitable.

Recent versions of Ubuntu are getting decent in my opinion though although I still mostly use my Linux laptop to RDP into a Windows machine at work or my personal Windows machine.
- NekkoDroid 2y ago> how do we still not have a stable extensions API? Mostly because they allow you to do anything possible to the shell via extensions that is exposed. If they'd limit the APIs to a stable subset it would be much more limited in what you could do with it.
