Why not just take the Calamares installer and then improve/modify it to suit your needs? What's the point of having a million different installers if not a single one solves a new problem and they all have uneven features?

We've been hearing of a lot of "big" performance improvements in Gnome every now and then for the past few years and so far NONE of these optimizations were noticeable to the naked eye. I bet this one will be under the same category. I hope I'll be proven wrong by April.

But the bad thing about GNOME Shell is the Dash which not only is slow, but it covers the whole screen so it is very disturbing and intrusive in workflow as it introduces a context switch in the workflow. Which is why avoid the Dash screen and instead use ArcMenu and Dash-to-panel.
The Windows 10 approach is much better. Microsoft tried an approach similar to Dash in GNOME Shell in Windows 8 and it was hated and abandoned.

I disagree. I bought a touchscreen laptop that came with Windows 8 out of the box and it was pretty nice. Maybe it feels worse on a desktop.
This full screen app picker / Dash is great on phones, tablets and smaller laptops.
But not on a 24" screen on a desktop computer.

Sure, but that is on a laptop.

I don't see what the problem is; I use GNOME just fine on a 13" laptop and a 55" desktop screen, along with some other sizes in-between. Had no issue with Windows 8 either at the time on desktops.
When using Dash in GNOME Shell it opens it fullscreen and I lose sight of what I am working on.
So then my mind switches context from one task to another, and then back again.
