I love how polished everything is in Gnome. I try another DE because of some cool thing, but I keep coming back to Gnome.
There are a couple of minor things that irk me, but man, how good Gnome looks, the consistency, stability, and attention to detail from the devs make it superb to me.
The accessibility options are also great for a Linux distro.
And, and I know people hate this about Gnome, but I love that it’s not just a Windows UX/workflow clone with a start button in the bottom left that opens a small start menu, Taskbar along the bottom with time and system stuff shoved in the corner, minimise/maximise/close buttons on the top right of every app, etc.
They’re ballsy enough to do usability studies and go with what makes sense, not just what we’re most used to, even though it’s opened the devs up to hate and threats.
