I'm genuinely curious if there's anything specific about their default theme and UX that makes it feel "dated" to you?

For light theme, their default color... The grayish combined with the UX in general feels for me very Windows 2000 or so.
But talking about real UI/UX, I do guess it's just about everything. It feels like the UI/UX was developed by programmers. It feels unpolished.
Border radius, paddings... A lot of things there being square and not round... The default icons. The context menu being to square, again. Even the default close/minimize buttons.
Like, UI wise, Finder and Nautilus is just way ahead than Dolphin for me.
Libadwaita apps also feel very consistent. I can find most of my apps with basically same consistent design on gnome.
UI wise I find gnome beautiful, their problem it's with UX and the excess of simplicity, like removing real features from Nautilus...
But at the same time I guess, KDE made the mistake of being too much complex UI wise. Even their screenshot tool it's a little insane hahahah
Maybe I just find it KDE ugly because I got super used by Gnome, macOS and Windows 10/11 UI? Likely.
