It looks cool. But it’s annoying to use. I don’t really care whatever it means to have a modern environment. I mean, if a nonmodern is good, then just being new doesn’t make it better. I think many time things are changed just for the sake of change. And often that leads to worse and not better results. For example, consistency among applications seems now about as bad as it was when we started gnome (though there are a lot more applications now). But about 3-5 years ago, Linux UI was reasonably consistent no matter what toolkit or desktop an app you used was written for.

KDE is an option but i like gnome applications better. kde feels a bit complicated, or that it has too many options/buttons everywhere.
