I love the design for modern Gnome but really wish they hadn't departed from using your desktop as a folder. Even MacOS isn't that picky about what you put there. It's pretty, but I always find I end up moving back to Plasma after a while.

you mean putting files on the Desktop???

Yes lmao. I use it to save scratch files or random crap I haven't yet categorized. Sometimes you're sifting through scripts or software and are going to delete them anyways, or I'm using it as a gallery pane for images I'm sorting before moving to store somewhere more permanent. I know Gnome's philosophy preaches a sort of importance on data management, but I'm never a fan of something that tries to make that decision for me.

In my opinion, I feel like its there to remove useless features(like App trays,etc) and have a good UI and UX and a consistent UI.

Maybe. At the end of the day, I love the design language but not the design philosophy I suppose :(
