This is such a stupid minor thing, but it’s what made me switch from Ubuntu to Fedora, haha.

I use many extensions, but I also like this “keep the vanilla simple” approach of Gnome. Instead of trying to support many different workflows, it does only one, and it does it well. Everything is much more polished, compared to other DEs, simply because there’s less stuff. And support for extensions seems to be excellent, since there’s so many of them and they often work very well.

Updating is not too bad, as long as you don’t update as soon as new major Gnome version is available. I usually wait a few months, and by then all extensions are either updated, replaced by a fork, or obsolete.
