GNOME. In spite of many people telling me I shouldn't for one reason or another, I've hung onto it. It looks good, it's simple and it's very different to Windows. I think it's great.

I hate desktop environments, everything they do to "help" irritates me.

I don't hate em, but i don't like DE's. Sure they looks good, some do some don't.

To me DE's are too complex for my needs, they're always in transition on (rolls/testing distro) Thanks to GTK2/3/4 QT4/5/6 etc..

The simplicity of WM's make it safer and quieter.

Openbox / FLuxbox / PekWm
herbstluftwm / dwm / i3

^ Those helps Linux to me...

I've got different DEs/WMs on different installations, so I didn't vote. Using Openbox this morning, but I also use Fluxbox, Xfce, and LXDE; KDE Plasma and/or GNOME Shell on my faster computers. I like variety (obviously).
