have you used GNOME?

GNOME devs operates more like benevolent dictators. It sure is oppressive and you better be glad for what you are getting, but what they put out with so few resources is leagues above what microsoft can do nowadays.

I'm a lifelong KDE person but it's still clear to me that GNOME is crafted with care, and I find it pretty usable.
