Really close to gnome 3 spirit, it continuously removed user features and personnalisation.
Gnome 3 really epitomized that but it's a general trend of linux on desktop catching up to proprietary os in first 2 decades culminating with the bonus coolness of compiz fusion.
And then the 2010-2020 were most of the time was spend changing the technologies (removing XUL,going to system-d,wayland) and the user experience suffered.
I think open software has a special responsibility to empower users not only through programming but also through their interface, it can be extension or extensive settings but it has to.
It ends up making more practical, feature reach software and open source needs that because we don't always all the resources to make the most polished software.
