It may look good --- beauty is in the eye of the beholder --- but it's ergonomics are bad. All those hamburger menus, all those disabled configuration parameters, the non-modular architecture, the poor state and quality of Gnome Shell extensions. I really try to like the modern Gnome, but they make it very hard. If your goal is not staring at some graphic design, but having tools that help and do not stand in the way, then Gnome feels just wrong. The primary reason why I still try to work with it, is its integration into system services.
