I think UI customizations are (for the most part) more important to new

UI to look and work pretty much the way it did the last release or
three releases earlier. (Small changes don't take too long to get used
to. I may be in the minority here, I don't know.

 
Some of the subreddits like r/Fedora often have posts 'look at the
beautiful desktop I made'.  Yawn.

Personally, I've been using xfce4 for years, and I have it
set up the way I like.  I _also_ have Cairo dock running, but
I hardly use it -- just interested in how stable it is, because
that's what I've got set up for Mrs. vallor.

I'm somewhere in-between, I use a basic xfce4 setup but a ton of self
drawn desktop icons and a custom background. Also conky and some static
always-on-top images for fun.
