Elementary OS[0] is visually very nice, especially after a slight theme change[1], but the core team behind it makes quite radical changes and decisions about what the OS should be (mostly about how it should be an unmodifiable, unchangeable "OS for dummies") that is starting to push me away.
Especially when basic things like taking a screenshot with your keyboard, as well as setting up hot keys, has been broken for a year[2]. The eOS team appears to be more focused on forcing Windows 10-style OS updates that download in the background - even over metered connections - and force you to restart[3].
