From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I have a similar feeling about it. I think I would prefer the customization of KDE, etc, but GNOME just works for me right out of the box. I don't think I change anything except the monospace font nowadays (in Tweaks). It works great and gets out of the way. For people who do not like the GNOME workflow I suspect it would be horrific because there is far less customization.
Which font do you use?
I think that that's why some Gnome users just stick with it. I personally don't want to customize anything, if possible. I don't even want to concern myself with the DE at all if possible. Any time I spend on the DE is time I don't spend doing the things I actually want to do. But that's the beauty of Linux: everyone can use whatever fits their needs best, be it Gnome, KDE, xfce or anything else.
I will swap out the default font with a monospace Nerd Font. I'm currently using the Cascadia Code Mono Nerd Font, but I will change it every so often.
Thanks. I didn't even know that Nerd Fonts existed! :D
