KDE is so great <3. It's everything Mac and Windows should have been. I also donate to it monthly because I feel it's software really worth paying for.
On the contrary, I despise Gnome 3. Gnome 2 wasn't bad but in 3 everything rubs me the wrong way. It's like they went out of their way to design something that wouldn't suit me :) The mimimalism, the thick "touch-style" window decorations, the "always an extra click" hamburger menus. The "You're holding it wrong" attitude. Basically all the issues that come with Apple-style opinionated design. And mentioned in the source article too. Nevertheless I'm glad other people do like it. That's the good thing about FOSS, there's something for everyone.
I had the same feeling about recent macOS versions so I'm really happy I moved to KDE (on FreeBSD). Having choice and configurability again is amazing.
This is really the power of FOSS and calls for a unified desktop would seriously undermine that. One size does not fit all.
