I know there isn’t an objectively correct answer to this question, and I’m not asking for the “party line” - I just want to hear everyone’s opinions (and the inevitable arguments had in good fun, of course).

Objectively, with the question asked as it was; there isn’t one.
However, for my use case and preference, I’m gonna roll with KDE. KDE offers everything I need. It has an weasy to use task bar, a menu, tray icons for lingering apps and controls, its dark mode out of the box is good, it support hi refresh rate, even HDR if you want it it can be as simple or as complex as you want. I can stick with how it comes stock basically and rock and roll. The discover store is fine when needed but I use CLI to install and update most things.
I have tried GNOME,XFCE, Cinnamon, Hyprland, Cosmic, Mate, and more but none of them fit my workflow exactly how I see fit.
Your mileage may vary.
