They all have pros and cons. If you like how it works out of the box, you’ve already won.
I ran Gnome for years with a collection of plugins and hidden gsettings to make it windows95-esque. Bottom bar, left apps, small bars, multi-screen, stacked windows, full time and date in the tray.
And every gnome update, a plugin or two would break, and I’d go find someone else’s plugin that did the same thing, but wouldn’t break.
Finally, I tried KDE on a new install, and it was exactly how I wanted it out, out of the box.
It’s been a long time now. For all I know, Gnome supports all that up front in config.
