Agreed. I’ve recently switch from Win10 to Gnome 3 briefly (LOL) then to KDE.

Some stronger selling points would be:

The KDE experience is exactly like Windows. Maybe more so.
It works out of the box with my hardware better than Windows did.
It offers more UI customisation, in a pretty straightforward, unintrusive and (mostly) intuitive way.
It’s more consistent and coherent than Windows, especially when it comes to ‘control panel’ stuff.
Way less crapware, such as graphics drivers that come with massively bloated management apps, or a thousand different software updaters running at once.

Hah. I don't know if you want to point at the display drivers as an advantage yet. Would be nice, though.

And hey, what's wrong with Gnome? I use Gnome right now. The endless arguments about how Linux is so customizable but whatever customization choice you made is clearly wrong are definitely part of the issue.

Gnome 3

Ah.

I mean, still, point stands. But... ah.

I liked MATE when I last used it. I believe that’s based on GNOME 2.
