I made an article listing the best Gnome shell extensions. Hopefully you’ll find something new. Let me know if there’s a good extension I missed.

      The desktop is completely usable without extensions. However, it is true that many extensions add functionality that should be built into Gnome itself. For example, there has been a PR open for an option to change the screenshots location since ~3.14, but nothing has happened.

      So according to your logic, non GNOME/KDE DEs are feature filled and not barebones? Did you not configure and modify i3wm or XFCE and use it as stock, or do you need any features?

      Making fun of people who may need extra functions never comes off as good, especially when you call the vast GNOME extension library just a bunch of “basic desktop functionality”.

          GNOME is definitely a very weird foundation for a popular DE, I agree, but it works for a lot of people. The extension library is very rich and easy to use, so I do not think it is fair to call it crippling, when it gives power users flexibility.
