What is the context for "Apple did nothing wrong"? When did they say that?
It's ancient history now, but gnome didn't used to look like poor imitation of Apple's design. Then the dev decided that macOS UI was superior and you will like it unconditionally.

For me the only shell extension that matters is material-shell which gives me nice window tiling. When it works it works when there’s an update it breaks 90% of the time. I almost always have to do some hacky shit with js to get it working.
I love Gnome and Adwaita, the quick settings are awesome.
Use KDE, it's stuffed with features to begin with
<3 some xfce.
Is there another desktop with nice macOS style animations other than gnome? I mean, for me, Gnome is clearly for people who would choose macOS if no linux was available to them (me included)

Why are they doing this? Because they want to envolve and don't be stuck with old things. However, if they did the transition in a good way by giving the developers time to adapt, that I don't know

Extensions are amazing if you need one or two small fwatures but if you mod something too much it will break eventually even if there is no update to the API. This time it's a easy fix again but it's also quite universal breakage sincee they switch from GJS to some more normal JS implementation and that changes some syntax but I expect developers to implement that quickly, maybe most of it could even be done with scripts I guess.
