I use it and like it. No strong opinion here, it just works well for me.

I was into it back when Gnome 3 came out... the problem is that I had to fill too many "holes" (for me, maybe not for everyone) in the functionality with extensions and those were quirky as fuck. You never knew what was going to stop working (or work differently) any day but without them, I could not function properly

And just to give you an idea of how tolerant I am with risk... my daily driver now is Garuda Linux with Hyprland instead of a desktop that I configured from scratch... my browser of choice is FireDragon which is a fork of Floorp which is a fork of Firefox

I am certain it is better now than it was back then... but once you are comfortable with an environment, it is a pretty tall order to switch around.
