Comments and Reviews
It's all about personal preferences, but i personally love it. It is a pleasure to use
GNOME 3 is the antithesis of what someone would look for in a desktop OS. It's entirely based around touch screen usage, with no support for desktop icons, and the "start menu" taking up the entire screen, reminiscent of Windows 8's start screen.
Not only that, but it's not very customizable, as the GNOME team breaks its extension system with every single update. Most recently, they've neutered the theming system. It's a very Microsoft approach, a naked "we know better than you" philosophy that guides nearly every decision they make.
Furthermore, it's a resource-heavy desktop environment, not only compared to Plasma, but even to other GTK-based desktops like xfce, Cinnamon or MATE.
While it may be ideal for those with beefy touchscreen devices, it's just not suited at all for a desktop, and I don't think the developers care.
I'm allergic to the Windows-menu style desktop environments like KDE, XFCE etc, so I always end up using Gnome. But the lack of customisability and the way things like the default terminal are hard-coded in really strain the relationship. If you're happy to just put up with what the Gnome devs think is the correct set of applications, style and functions then it's for you. Or if you're like me it's still for you until there's a better option.
GNOME is a bad DE. It is lacking both features and usability. It is very unfortunate that it is the default on most popular Linux distributions, probably turns a lot of new users away.
The sole reason why wayland still sucks. The people behind Gnome are just retarded. They must disagree with other programmers no matter what.

Open source, but I really dont like the design
Oh boy, GNOME. Breaking theming everywhere with libadwaita, deprecating tons of their GTK API all the time, the devs are known to be arrogant and to insult their users, no thanks. They have a very bad reputation, and I even had the privilege to experience this firsthand at some point. Their arguments in "Please don’t theme our apps" are a joke, a sorry excuse for bad application design and programming. I have since moved on.
