Honestly I liked the old icons better; they were a spiritual successor of the spectacular Windows 98 icons. Come to think of it, I wish GNOME were just more like Windows 98, and less like a web browser; maybe then they wouldn't need so much acceleration to get reasonable performance.

Sure, people have different preferences. Most people like GNOME which is why the largest distributions have chosen it. Your opinion is in the 0,5% that doesn't like GNOME, congratulations.

Honestly instead of GNOME vs KDE I wish we were a little more like KDE vs WINDOWS or KDE vs MAC, GNOME vs Windows, GNOME vs Mac, etc...
If people weren't happy about Gnome's internal management it's a wonder Gnome 3 hasn't been forked to correct mis-steps.
Meanwhile in FOSS, we have names like GIMP and the Kool Desktop Environment (KDE).
Honestly there is a lot of room for improvement for each project.
If we could get some basics right like 100% SVG icons instead of specific size variant PNGs, separation of core app functionality so UX can be HTML 5 (Online), Qt (Local), or GTK3 (Local) I would be really happy.
Also, could we fucking PLEASE have some level of separation between our applications and the desktop environments. It's no wonder people say FUCK THIS and use i3, or openbox with tint2, lemonbar/polybar, AWN, Plank, Slingshot, etc... because the "Panel" is a separate component of the desktop that can be severable and re-purposed.
The whole: take it or leave it situation is a clusterfuck. For example, I use Dolphin on Gnome, it renders thumbnails faster and gets out of my way even though it doesn't match the other apps it performs its functions above adequately and to my expectations.

The latter is made of separate apps.

My point was that I'd hate it if Present Windows, regardless of the hot corner, was the only way to switch programs (like it is on Gnome w/o a plugin).

I know. I set it to the bottom right-hand corner on my box, bottom left opens the start menu, top left opens the activity manager.
