I echo this. My desktop has stayed virtually unchanged for decades, and in retrospect, it explains why I use the Sway tiling window manager today.

My desktop progression has been 1989: twm 1995: ctwm 2000: kde 2022: lxde

I moved from ctwm to kde because they accepted a patch that allowed me to maintain some modifier/mouse shortcuts I had configured in twm. Gnome rejected my patch

Moved to lxde because kde got too complex and hard to deal with

Still run tcsh with a .cshrc migrated from one i cloned from a friend at university

I’ve been on a bsd based workstation since the 80s with a few years on Mac and linux. Sunos->ultrix->osf/1 -> FreeBSD (on alpha) -> FreeBSD i386 -> macOS x -> Ubuntu-> FreeBSD/amd64
