Don't try to turn Gnome into something it wasn't designed to be.

Don't tell me what to do. We all have our own preferences, that's the beauty of Linux.

Personally, I have tried many different desktop environments with various customizations. I still think that GNOME + Extensions is the most beautiful and productive desktop experience for me.

Even despite the obvious flaws of GNOME, I still find it easier to customize and configure to my personal preferences than other desktop environments.

I think the point they were making was that Gnome is made for a touchpad / keyboard driven approach, so complaining that it's not something else or that it requires multiple extensions is pointless.

If you use 15 extensions to get your perfect desktop and don't say a word, no-ones going to care, just don't complain when it breaks.
