I think the GNOME designers are incompetent

Dash to dock to make application switching pretty much instant, hiding the dock away in the overview only ever makes sense when you're screen real-estate constrained (12" laptop)

Tiling Assistant, this lets you define custom window snapping zones, its most helpful when you have a mix of landscape/portrait displays and you need more flexibility than the built-in behaviour offers.

DDterm, this one isn't essential, but its convenient to have a terminal shade ready to go. On my ThinkPads I'd bind this to the ThinkVantage key to quickly get a terminal up.

I used to muck around with themes and icon sets years ago, but Adwaita is pretty inoffensive these days, and dark mode is not an afterthought now.

If you like DDterm you may be interested in Tilix, which is designed for Gnome. It also has a dropdown terminal shade as well as regular windowed terminals, and you can drag and drop your sessions between then.

I used to use Guake as my shade but it's a lot more convenient to have a unified solution for regular and dropdown terminals.

This is why I don’t take criticism of gnome seriously. Why exaggerate. This is hardly a “bevy” of extensions.
