From what I saw Cosmic has a lot of potential and looks pretty sleek too, right now I'm using KDE it's a great desktop, but now that I have a second monitor it randomly crashes on me, I think I'll switch to Cosmic when it reaches beta.

less functionality is bad. with a bit of gaslighting you can make anything seem like a design choice instead of admitting it's hard to make a good and sustainable implementation for said functionality. but at least gnome has extensions and is customisable, Pantheon DE is a brick in comparison.

    Depends on what you want to do I guess. I'd rather have a clean desktop that cannot accumulate clutter like in windows where applications add shortcuts to the desktop automatically which you then have to remove manually.

    linux doesn't have that problem and most of the times you're asked if you want to add a shortcut on the Desktop during the install even on Windows, i mean it's good we have options for all the use cases and workflows by having these different Desktop Environments but i think having options within the DE itself is better for the long-term adoption but it's harder to maintain which i understand. i like the UI getting used to me not the other way around
