The nice thing about GNOME is that you immediately get it, on a fundamental level that is. The not so nice thing is that lots of stuff is an add-on, and it's entirely possible installing the wrong one will brick your desktop

I disagree that Gnome is intuitive on a fundamental level. They're trying the Apple way of UI design without the millions in R&D.

I get it, but maybe the same way I get driving on the other side of the road, or writing with my non-dominant hand: I can do it, and maybe I could get used to it or even be efficient with it, but it's unfamiliar and far from being second nature to me.

I always feel gnome is more fitting for laptop or tablet. KDE on my desktop.

Just seem to be different use cases.
