You're again assuming that being a windows clone will intrinsically make a DE more intuitive. I don't think that's true at all.

Yes I am, and I base that on my observance of human nature, and how a level of complexity of learning something new is a barrier that affects adopting something new, as well as my own personal experience as a UI/UX software developer for some decades.

An alternative UX would have to be incredibly intuitive to overcome that. And, with respect, Gnome is not that.

I don’t think that’s true at all.

Well we'll just agree to disagree then. Appreciate the discussion though.
