In my humble opinion, the stock experience on Gnome sucks. No desktop icons, no dock, no minimize maximize buttons, no app indicators. I only use Gnome because of the changes Ubuntu made to it, which can be replicated on other distros with a script.
That's valid. Ubuntu has shipped with wayland by default since some time ago but wasn't the first one. They don't seem to adopt the latest technology as fast. Which I like. Even the new LTS still gives you the option to use X.org in GDM.
Also true. If you don't like Snaps and aren't comfortable with more and more packages being replaced by them, Ubuntu isn't the distro to use. I don't mind the metapackages installing snaps instead at all honestly. The terminal clearly says it's installing a snap. And from my experience they work great. I was recently using wsl and needed yt-dlp. I went for the snap right away and it worked great.
In fact the only broken snaps I have encountered so far are OBS and curl (which can't access root directories, making it useless for the script I needed)
