Appeal of GNOME DE? (hexbear.net)

Not sure if this is the right comm to ask in, but I have been hearing people praise GNOME lately, which contradicts my prior experience with GNOME in live environments a few years ago.

I'd like to ask, what is the appeal of this DE compared to KDE?

The appeal is that GNOME is dumb. There's little you can do to break it. Any boomer can configure it in the settings. And it's very well tested because it has little to test. Yet it can do 95-100% of what you need.
