Those for whom only "it" can support what needs doing, and Wayland by design will
never do? I haven't used Gnome since about 1999. Plasma I'm in process of mostly
abandoning, since it's incapable of putting any window back where it last found it
on a session restart, whether in Xorg or Wayland, much less most, or "gasp", all,
or on a fresh open. Using neither Gnome nor Plasma, Xorg or XLibre AFAIK is where
it's at.
