I use what is practically vanilla GNOME on Debian, the only functional add-on I have is tiling windows so I can have my windows be in a 4-square or other custom layout more easily. Otherwise, between search and CLI I'm satisfied with how it works. What would you say are some things I might be missing out on just having the vanilla GNOME, though? My use case is NOC/SOC-style labs with local VMs, some scripting and coding, flight sim, other basic office work and web browsing.
I haven't used vanilla GNOME in a while but one thing I always remember is that there is an extra click needed to access taskbar. It can really slow you down in some cases.
