I just find it ugly vs Gnome or Mac. Inconsistent padding, font sizes, colors. Admittedly, this was maybe 5 years ago. Has that improved?

These days, I daily drive Niri and love it. I love the workflow of a scrolling WM. I love that I can configure it via a single text file in the standard configuration directory, I love how lightweight it is. It’s just about perfect for me.

I had always the same feeling. KDE looks okay at first, but on a second look it would be somewhat ugly in a subtle way. That never changed for me in KDE, so I stopped looking at KDE some years ago. But maybe it is the time for another look!
