Gnome is not only a perfectly valid and functional DE, it also looks better than others. I’ll go even one step further and say that KDE looks clunky and Xfce looks dated no matter how you customize them.
GNOME has a few of those “just GNOME” things (e.g. lack of precise fractional scaling because people can’t comprehend decimal places), but it’s still far more usable than everything else I’ve tried (that also runs Wayland).
On a side note, I remember when KDE Plasma was the new hot thing…
Gnome certainly wins on the looks. It just feels more polished and consistent. Although, I managed to get KDE looking nice with some themes and plugins.

Personally, i find GNOME good looking from the outside, but it becomes ugly as soon as you get deeper into it

Other than lack of more settings being in the GUI and actual proper background app support, GNOME has been lovely to use.
