What? This feels like a weird take. I use GNOME almost exclusively with a mouse, and have done for over 20 years. I don't find anything particularly difficult about it. It's certainly easier than using it with a trackpad.

The only thing I find unfortunate about using Gnome with a mouse is using the dash (the pinned programs in the Activities overview): you have to go right to the top left of the screen for the Activities button, then down to the very bottom¹ for the dash. And I often use monitors in portrait mode.

With a laptop trackpad, you're more likely to use the super / Windows key to bring up the overview (it's right next to where your hands are).

Other than that, I too have been using Gnome since version 2 and am very content with it.
