When I first started using Gnome I found it to be a nightmare precisely because of that, so I added a bunch of extensions to change the workflow back to the Win95 UX that practically everybody else still uses.
Then, after someone recommended it to me, I tried the stock Gnome workflow. It was awful at first. But after a few days it just ‘clicked’ and I was like damn this workflow is amazing. And now I can’t go back.
It just makes sense and works in a way that’s IMO more efficient and less clunky once you get past the expectation that all OS UX should work like Microsoft’s UX.
I’m glad that KDE is putting in groundwork for their own (optional) ‘activities’ view, because I seriously miss it anytime I’m not using Gnome.
