_For me_ it is not a sacrifice, it is conscious choice. I have everything on the tip of my finger and have all (or most) of my config done in a single file, I don't need a heavier DE for no benefit.
> increased control over their workspaces and the ability to customize their desktop...
Is it even achievable? I don't think you can't have the full-featured nature of gnome and the control of sway. They have antagonistic design. For example, on sway you set up your workflow by composing a lot of software together (with things like wofi, mako etc), while on gnome it is already a cohesive package with everything you need already in place (and trying to change that is uphill battle).
Also if the author allow me, the text is quite prolix, you say the same thing over and over again without providing any concrete example.
> there is a limited number of desktop environments that offer non-traditional (MS Windows-like) window management.
Like what? From those DE you have listed what are they missing? Why do you need more?
