Alright, the Gnome team went full fucking retard. Where do I go now? I hate cinnamon, KDE is ugly as always. i3 is usable, but it takes forever to configure it into a non-ugly configuration because the team is full >muh minimalism, and most of that involved using Gnome.
I'm so assblasted, this might force me to start another DE...
Anyway, DE thread.

That's Linux for you. First they only develop it until it sort of works on their computers, then everyone fixes their fucking bugs and by that time the original developer releases a "new and improved" product. The cycle repeats. And on Linux they feel the need to keep reinventing the wheel while bloating the fuck out of it.

Use openbox + tint2 + conky + skippy-xd all on ARCH.
I feel exactly the same as you with GNOME, just saw the updates as well adn decidsed to go full minimalism without sacrificing features I used to have in gnome.
This uses 167MB at cold boot.

How do you achieve those damn good visuals?
I've recently installed the slim lubuntu and it runs fast, yet I don't like it's visuals.
How do I achieve that?

Just install openbox + tint2, learn how to use and configure theme, find a nice GTK theme and you'll get awesome visuals.

MATE's cool. It's like GNOME 2 basically. LXDE and Xfce are also very light and similar. LXDE uses less memory than MATE, while Xfce uses a little bit more.

Why not? They're great. LXQT in particular is exciting because it's a way to use QT without having to have all of the resource usage of KDE.

I love cinnamon too, it reminds me of mac os 7 with the sound effects turned on. I wish other desktop environments would provide options to set sounds for all the actions cinnamon does. Not to mention quadrant window snapping in addition to the side by side view, why isn't that standard in floating window managers by now?

Awesomewm
Lua is easy as shit to script in so you can configure it fast. Not to mention there are dozens of awesome configs out there (just google).
Its fast and stable. After awesomewm every othe wm/de feels like bloated, counter-intuitive garbage.
All window management is done from the keyboard and you'll use your screen space much more efficiently.
