@just-a-husk to me i just dont really like GNOME, reminds me too much of mac, that and some things you install have a chance to "gnome" you, so its also a slight annoyance

what jaiden said + less customization without plugins + community complaining about people using plugins + people acting like it's the only real DE for people who want to get work done + gnome apps forcing you to have gnome styling + etc. etc.

I like having my own DE or WM the way I like it, I don't want someone else's vision of how people should have things set up forced upon me. Gnome apps and users insist upon themselves.

Anyways not everyone who uses gnome is like this it's just the majority of users I have encountered. A loud portion of the userbase that doesn't represent the whole.

so between the time i wrote this entry and now, i switched from xfce to kde plasma.
yes sometimes wordpad is annoying, like if you don't change fonts to 13pt Fira Sans it discards all your font hinting and squashes the last 5 words together to fit on one line. but ive been using wordpad since 2011 and ive learnt all the workarounds and work-withs.
what, i gotta run wordpad.exe on Wine? come on. do better.
not exactly the same, but abiword is much more lightweight than libreoffice!
that's interesting because i was just about to come on here and say "and that wordpad workalike is called abiword" but you beat me to it lol
Funnily enough I never liked WordPad. Like, or I need a pure text editor (Notepad) or I want a full blown office suite (LibreOffice). However, searching here for alternatives, I've found Ted. It seems to not be mantained anymore, and its dependencies may not be available in the newest distributions. Maybe it would work without hassle packaging into a Flatpak: https://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/editors/ted/
