Gnome has big buttons and giant paddings because they target touch screens. But my point is that I don't care about all buttons have exactly same corner radius, I need features like a tray system to be able to access my non Gnome apps quickly(like I need to change the TTS program language), GNOME is good for you if what that big ego designers imposed is what you want, if it is not what you want then even GNOME community will tell you to use some else because GNOME has a vision, minimal features, form over function, excuses for incompetent developers
