Not alone. I love it. I want my DE to "just work" and I don't want to customize it or hunt for programs in a "start menu". Give me my hot corner and a short list of apps any day so I can get to work. Happy to type in to launch less commonly used ones the few times a month I actually need them.

As a bonus, Gnome 3 is incredibly easy on the eyes (subjective of course). I think probably a close competitor to macOS in looks category.
