    I see you, but man, I am of the exact opposite opinion. Configurability is, for me, a bug that needs to be fixed when it comes to desktop environments. It should be as standard as possible across machines.

      A good DM need to strike a balance between configurability and ergonomy/ease of use.

      As a novice user I loved to tweak the many configuration options, but it’s time consuming and often lead to something worse than the default, leading to further tweaking.

      Now I appreciate good defaults because that means there’s few settings that needs tweaking.

      Some DMs like early Gnome 3 releases went a bit too far removing configuration options, and have been slowly adding them back over several years.

        It’s also what creates a ton of bugs and problems, both for users and developers. People hate on Gnome for being very standard without a lot of config options, but it makes a ‘standard’ Gnome desktop possible in a way that just doesn’t exist for KDE.
