So if GNOME does something everyone else is not doing, they're "fucking up", but if they follow what someone else has done that you like, they're just creating a "cheap copy"? How do they win?

Is not it true with Windows? Plug and play? And while I did not study this, I strongly suspect that it is more true for Windows than for Linux.
I don't use Windows much, but recently I booted it up and found my graphics tablet didn't work. I needed to install a driver from Wacom, then reboot. It got very confused about whether my tablet or my monitor was the primary monitor, and moving between screens was somehow worse than Linux. On Linux, the tablet driver worked out of the box, but I had to adjust display scaling for both my monitors to co-exist peacefully. I also had to switch from GNOME to KDE and switch to Wayland on my NVIDIA card to get Krita to work properly (interface was split across both monitors and couldn't resize it). GNOME's multi-monitor handling was bad, regardless of whether I used Wayland or X11. Multi-monitor handling on KDE was better than Windows...in the end.
I'm not really sure which of these is worse.
On Arch, I use ffmpegthumbnailer to accomplish this.

So you'd think, but why else would Adobe bother developing a web version of Photoshop? Good to know, though.
Obviously it defeats piracy, but that argument doesn't make sense if Adobe is still shipping a native version of Photoshop.
Stable or development branch?
wireguard
This is the way. I can't be bothered to mess around with the VPN client for my VPN so I just use the Wireguard configs it auto-generates.
I know this is probably tongue-in-cheek, but if you wanted the serious answer:
GIMP:
- Non-destructive Editing (it's coming real soon!)
- Vector shapes, not bitmap
- Smart objects
- Full CMYK support
- Full PSD support (for collaboration purposes), hahaha
- KILL ALL FLOATING SELECTIONS
Kdenlive:
Well, I actually do use Kdenlive. I'm fine with Lightworks too, and Resolve on macOS. But it's lacking finer color grading controls, the interface is inefficient (being fixed in a future release), hardware-based decoding/encoding needs to either exist or be improved.
And the other big reason is collaboration with other Adobe users.
The equation for YotLD is simple for me:
Adobe looks at Linux market share and thinks, "Hmm, we could make some money from this," and ports Photoshop, After Effects, and inDesign to Linux
Or:
Adobe looks at ChromeOS and thinks, "Hmm, we could make some money from this," and ports all their programs to the web except After Effects because that involves massively extending web protocols again to support all the codecs and improving performance.
NVK is looking to be a viable replacement for general desktop computing in a few months, so long as you don't need NVENC and any of the other stuff.
I know you said don't suggest Vim, but I use Neovim for my writing and write in markdown. Any markdown editor will do. Marker is fine. It's really easy to convert to another format like HTML or EPUB with pandoc. Markdown has minimal formatting, too, so it shouldn't bug you so much.
FocusWriter is another good suggestion if that's more what you're interested in.
Gaming still works fine for me on 545. It's just that every other XWayland program flickers endlessly. Thunderbird, Freetube, Bitwarden...
God I hope NVK is the driver I'm using happily by the end of this year.
