I'm a power user (but not an extreme one), but there's always the balance of spending too much time for little benefits (from my point of view) as I'm not really a geek and I'd rather go outdoors when I can.

Pamac doesn't handle AUR packages just as well. Or doesn't find any updates while yay does.
And sometimes it's just faster to yay -Syyu than to open Pamac and go for updates or some install. I always use both (same with apt and synaptic).

Now, I understand what you mean. I actually have build issues sometimes. I just get around it somehow by installing a more stable version or by the issue being solved at at a later point.
And that's why I see Budgie as a grower. It has a real potential, because when they see demand they are willing to offer to add options in order to meet that demand. They recognize the variety of workflows and use cases. It's not the "do it as we unilaterally designed it" Gnome state of mind. More like "let's sit down and see what we could do about what users want". That's how it should be in my perspective.
It's not as mature as Gnome is (more recent, smaller user base) and the multi-monitor support is not good enough for it becoming my daily driver yet, but the vanilla setup can already be tweaked in several different ways and customized with a lot of options without making it too heavy. If Gnome devs had that state of mind with their means, it would be a killer desktop instead of feeling so restrictive and lacklustre (with 10-20 extensions, it's bearable though). Anyway, this is another discussion, and it stems from the fact that the new release is kind of a big news (as for any DE new release) but didn't get covered here, sadly.
