And Gnome is probably not for you.

They make a desktop which is opinionated, and in some ways pushes things forwards. For example it is nice to not have to always deal with the awful Start button metaphor.

On the others it can be a constraint. Only wanting to support the modern icon tray lead to years of having to use an extension for all the software that didn't.

And that's fine. That's why we have KDE and XFCE.

I personally much prefer the Gnome flow which gets out my way, and find KDE to feel much more archaic. I don't want docks and bars, I don't want the desktop to be more than a place to hold my applications.
