Yeah. A lot of Gnome feels like an edgy teenager going against the grain just to be different. No dock. No window controls. No system tray.
Gnome’s own research said the average person uses something like 5-8 apps IIRC. I don’t need some convoluted workspace system for something I can fit on a dock that spans 1/3 of the screen.
If the vertical space is so valuable, maybe they should stop supporting 1920x1080 as a resolution since 1920x1200 is better. Lol.
