Use KDE, it's stuffed with features to begin with
I use two extensions in gnome I cannot live without. Currently travelling, so I don't know their names by heart. One is for vertical workspaces, the other to visualize CPU/memory/network/disk.
I've had to use a Macbook for a month now, and let me tell you. The world of "I need some functionality = install third party stuff" is infinitely worse.
Want to launch custom terminal with global hotkey? => third party app
Want to manage window layout with keyboard shortcuts? => third party app
Want to add support for normal keys on an external keyboard? (like, home key not being dead) ? => third party app
Want better screenshot support? => third party app
Want to be able to navigate workspaces without waiting 2 second with 120Hz refresh rate monitors (because developers implemented it wrong)? => third party app
Want an alt+tab functionality that isn't a mix between bugged and useless? => third party app
The situation of gnome would be a godsent. It's so bad that I don't care about system monitoring or vertical workspaces. But, once I do, those too would be third party apps.
I love Gnome and Adwaita, the quick settings are awesome.
<3 some xfce.
Why are they doing this? Because they want to envolve and don't be stuck with old things. However, if they did the transition in a good way by giving the developers time to adapt, that I don't know

Is there another desktop with nice macOS style animations other than gnome? I mean, for me, Gnome is clearly for people who would choose macOS if no linux was available to them (me included)

I like Vanilla GNOME. Nothing compares.
