For all of GNOME's faults, it's provided me a much better experience than other DE's. XFCE and others don't handle fractional scaling nearly as gracefully as GNOME does. KDE is probably the closest but you still have the issue of running GTK/QT apps and they all look very different and jarring on the desktop.

Do QT apps look better on Gnome? I figured you'd run into the issue either way you went unless you can keep to only "native" uis.

You generally don’t need any QT apps. Whereas using KDE without any GTK apps is tough. Even Firefox uses gtk.
