I gave GNOME a chance after 40 and personally I don't regret it the slightest, things just work in an intuitive way.

Though I will admit the only GNOME app I use is the image viewer and sometimes folders. My workflow consists of a couple terminals, a browser and sometimes binja. But unlike window managers, oddball programs like Vivado, Matlab, Zoom, etc. work well too.

side note: I was 3 when the original GNOME file picker thumbnail issue was created. I'm (hopefully) graduating this term.
Gnome has almost completely transitioned apps to GTK4.

This was a huge undertaking and is extremely exciting because I suspect we will now see a period of significant stability improvements and bug fixes, which will simultaneously come with a higher rate of feature delivery.

I think they will skip this part and just concentrate on porting Gnome to GTK5. /s

A port to GTK 5 will also be significantly easier than the one to GTK4, even if that does happen.
