@theDoctor @Phate6660 it would be nice if Gnome extension model wasn't single threaded & if extension incompatibilities didn't yeet the shell to crash, of course those design decisions were made long ago -- but I would be happy to see them "unmade". I really can understand people using Plasma+Latte Dock as panel -- their new Launch Menu is really good and the last 8 months or so have been Gnome Extension hell -- still for the average office user Gnome has some advantages in its simplicity still, albeit sometimes stubborn in some design decisions.

Without Dash To Panel, Dash to Dock or TopIcons it would be unusable for most people.
