Flexibility is definitely something we try to be opinionated about. We don't offer a lot of easy GUI customization out of the box, but you'll find that there's quite a bit hidden beneath the surface or is easy to code up yourself. If you're really interested in a completely customizable and hand-tailored OS, I'd honestly suggest you look into something like ArchLinux or Gentoo[2]. Both platforms have made available most of our applications and components, so you can pick and choose to build the desktop you personally want :) [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&C=0&SeB=nd&K=elementary&outdated=&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&C=0&SeB=nd&K=element...
