GNOME and Fedora is my preferred setup too. Of course these days I like Bazzite for the immutable builds with Steam baked in

Sidebars were very mid-2000s, the GNOME team always keeps up

This is a core feature, but you can go to the fallback mode. Logout, and then in the corner there’s an option to choose your environment, you can select gnome classic and use that instead.

Oh the GNOME 1.x days, nobody today was alive to witness it

I can understand the maintainer’s point, it seems like in essence, people want drag-and-drop positioning, which is a complexity I wouldn’t want to add either. Personally, having dabbled in some light extension-making recently, couldn’t find a way to set extension load-order or set one extension as depending on another, both of which seem to be basic features they need to add. Either of which could speak towards an answer to the basic problem of ‘things keep loading in random order’ which is kind of annoying. From there, it seems the maintainer is correct and one could just write an extension to add drag-and-drop ordering to the mix.

Not that I’ve ever used it or that it will be compatible with your version, but this seems up your alley https://github.com/awamper/howdoi

I really like that new background, I hope it changes throughout the day like the Adwaita one. Native drag-and-drop in the Activities panel is great too.

This is like a list of regressions and things you can add through extensions.gnome.org. The thing to keep in mind is GNOME is part design philosophy, the vanilla experience is spartan but GNOME gives a lot under the hood for apps to take advantage. Granted, I don’t think the project is quite there yet as GNOME 3.x is meant to be an in-progress desktop. Still, it seems the author would be happier with some other GNOME-based DE’s that are designed to give him the (rather old-school) UX he seeks.
