Customisable isn't an adjective I'd use for gnome. It might be more hackable but UX customization is broken in Gnome.

    I think that’s the perfect choice of distinguishing phrases.

    KDE is very customizable (perhaps too much for more casual users) while Gnome is hackable with the extension system - but it will always feel a little more tacked on, be a little less stable, prone to upgrade breakage, etc.

    As a corollary to OPs argument, there’s also a reason Niri and Cosmos didn’t stay Gnome extensions.

    (But at the end of the day, if the Gnome experience niche works for you, more power to you.)
