And why are default fonts always Sans-Serif? (Not sure who started this, but
I suspect MacroShaft.) I suppose it's more of the "dumb down the user
interface" nonsense that Gnome et al promulgated.* There are too many easily
confused glyphs in Sans-Serif fonts. Thank goodness that in the control
center I can set all of the non-monospace fonts at once!

* And while Gnome has done that, they and KDE4+ have gone to extremes to make
it difficult to configure their DEs by scattering settings all over the
place, and Mozilla seems to want to thwart their users' desire to make their
applications user-friendly by hiding most settings in about:config and
providing no documentation at all. :-(

What really pisses me nowadays is that most applications using QT5/QT6/GTK3
cannot handle HDPI displays at all. And the color presets - even for dark
mode - try to rebuild the user experience on shaby first generation TFTs
with 1:100 contrast ratio. Just a PITA to get these color schemes to
actually use good contrast. And the fonts ... who teaches devopers to make
pick the smallest, contrast-less fonts possible and don't let the user
escape that hell? Thin pastel fonts on gray backgroud, really?

Well, to me MATE is tolerable, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that I
love it. For me, there are only two for which I might use the L word, and
that is KDE3.5 and TDE.

MATE <~~~~ NOPE, MATE SHOULD BE HERE. :D I LOVE MATE.
