Thanks. It seems that the answer for now is to stick with the old. Too often the Linux motto seems to be if it ain't broke, break it.
Fewer words were ever so true. The craze really seemed to take off with the announcements of Gnome 3 and Kde 4. Then, freedesktop entered the mix and while what was broken, was fixed, it seems to have engulfed a large number of good competitive packages into what is now the ever-growing "modular" monolith of systemd and friends :)
I really wonder where Linux-on-the-desktop would be if Gtk+3 hadn't spent a decade breaking backwards compatibility for themes with every point-release, and if KDE 4 hadn't been released in alpha-state not taken a decade to complete Qt3-4 porting of all apps (some just died and were never ported)
Progress is a good thing and there are always growing pains, but repeatedly shooting yourself in the foot indicates not a lot has been learned for history.
