- Top bar which acts as a status bar rather than a global menubar
- Somewhat modal UX that works best with keeping 1-3 windows on screen at all times
- No way to minimize windows
- Inclination towards gestures over keystrokes
- Simplified mobile-esque app UIs that eschew menubars entirely in favor of hamburger menus
- Greatly reduced levels of configurability relative to other DEs
- Heavily padded widgets that seem better suited to touch than KB+M
- Use of touch-inspired designs like switches over checkboxes
- No traditional desktop
…among others.
Don't get me wrong, it's very polished which is what leads me to use it, but it's not really a traditional desktop environment.
