I feel almost the opposite. I think Plasma and GNOME are both really good, and some others I haven't bothered to try yet because I'm pretty happy on Plasma (Budgie, Pantheon) seem thoughtfully designed and reasonably featureful. Plus there are good tiling WMs you can use on any of them!
I feel like there are more good options on Linux than anywhere else. macOS has designers galore and it falls flat on core window management functionality, like its stupid minimize/maximize behavior, lack of window snapping, lack of tiling, lack of click-anywhere resizing, and other DE basics, like configuring global keyboard shortcuts.
But I welcome System76's effort, too! I hope it's so good it makes me switch. :)
