    You’ve given me an idea...

      That is not true. I have been using Gnome since 3.8 days, and the changes on my workflow have been quite minimal. Of course some changes have been made on its way, but when you look back the "big picture" has been quite same all the way.

        Your invalid.

          How can it change all the time if development is slow?

You can have a list of open windows with alt+tab (can have all animations you want, from GNOME-like to Apple-like, from "window management -> task switcher") and also by setting a screen corner or side with "workspace -> screen edges" menu to trigger an apple-like "show all open windows on screen", also swipe gestures towards screen corners can be enabled.
            Have you used Gnome Shell yourself? The show-all-windows option in Plasma is different. In Plasma you only see the list of windows and can switch between them, but you can't manage windows by moving them around monitors or virtual desktops, it's just a fancy window switcher. In Gnome Shell the same view is used as a switcher and at the same time as a window manager where you can move windows around and you can also switch between desktops from that view. You can also search your system from that view. Many functionalities in a single view with a single keyboard shortcut.

              Even if the design is a little dated, the activity view is one of the best features of GNOME.

                Maybe I'm some of exceptions..

                However, I hated early gnome 3, until maybe gnome 3.12 or later... Some popular fucked the reputation up, when they switch to gnome 3, which was still under development, and didn't have some base desktop features.

                I love GNOME 3 for daily use, as it's simple, elegant, and modern. However, I tend to have only IDE, browser, and few terminals (or single with tabs), opened at same time.

                My wife loves gnome 3, because of activities screen (invoked with super key), which displays all applications at once, showing window contents, and is nicely animated. Honestly, I don't use that, because I really don't like to wait on animation while switching window.

                  Oh you misunderstand, I completely agree that KDE is extremely configurable. What I'm saying is that the result of trying to imitate Unity does not feel as cohesive and pleasant to use as Unity itself. And that makes perfect sense because KDE developers are not trying to handle the same kind of workflow. Their target is a taskbar experience much like Windows. It's a Swiss Army knife approach. Sure you get the knife as well as the can opener, but neither of them can hope to compete with the dedicated tools.
