For a different opinion, please see https://woltman.com/gnome-bad/

GNOME is extremely opinionated.

Yep, I know it is opinionated and I really like a lot of their decisions. Most of what he says in that is "it doesn't clone Windows therefore it breaks my muscle memory". I don't care about your opinions and it isn't the same as mine.

But the best part is that it's optional.
