It's been awhile since I've tried it, but the first thing that comes to mind is not being able to put a file on the desktop.
I completely understand and even vaguely agree with their reasoning, I stopped putting icons on my desktops maybe 10 years ago?
But sometimes I just want to put a temporary file on my desktop as a visual reminder to finish something up later.
In this case it's not the same class of 'bug' as the missing thumbnails in gnome's file picker, it was a deliberate design decision, and I respect that the project thought about the experience they want to create and executed on that vision. It's just not the experience for me.
