One advantage of linux is that you can choose a UI you like and stick with it for years. Complaining that Gnome is horrible only serves to trash the reputation of linux and linux users. What would be more helpful is some insight into use cases (e.g., ancient hardware) where other desktops have advantages over Gnome.
I think there's a middle ground where legitimate criticism lives. When Gnome jumped my shark I simply switched desktops and that was that. But I still think that explaining the reasons why is useful, and pretending that Gnome is not a completely different UI paradigm is not useful, and this is a legitimate point of discussion.
I use the Windows 10 generally. I briefly poked the tires on the current, default Gnome desktop in Ubuntu, last year. There were some claims that Windows is moving closer to Gnome's UI paradigms, but I just didn't see that. Perhaps that was referring to Windows 11; if so then I'm wrong on this, but I am convinced that average Windows users will have absolutely no clue what to do with the Gnome desktop, when they sit down in front of it. Is that a good thing?
