There seems to be a real renaissance of what I might call GNOME-assed GNOME apps, to riff off of the "Mac-assed Mac apps" refrain.
Feels like GTK 4 and the tooling around it appeals to a lot of developers building all sorts of amazing new apps and utilities. With each passing day, I start to wonder if I too would like to write a GNOME app.
It's so refreshing to see a "desktop" operating system in the modern era actually care about a cohesive app ecosystem which is welcoming to new entrants.
