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.
Thank you for your service, have my upvote

Sorry for being a GNOME hater, but I find it really telling that every GNOME user seems to be dependant on a list of extensions to get even basic desktop functionality ;)
I personally don’t use any extensions, and the desktop works fine for me. You can do pretty much everything you want with keyboard shortcuts.
Yes, I guess GNOME has become pretty keyboard centric. Seems to be a case of developers only considering laptop use & trying to minimize touchpad input. I can see the logic behind that, but I always try to use an external mouse with my laptop…
I also use a mouse whenever I can. Although touchpad gestures are great, a good old mouse feels so much more comfortable.
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.

Hmm, I think you misunderstood. I am a KDE user and apprechiate that basic desktop functionality comes build in with it, while on GNOME it seems previously available desktop features continue to be removed and most GNOME users depend on 3rd party extensions to make GNONE a functional desktop again.
