Look during my distro hops I tried cosmic. I didn’t get the allure. Maybe for a dead simple touch screen but it’s too basic. The settings are basic, it lacks depth. I wasn’t a fan of the gnome like interface I guess even if you take that out. The best feature was the tiling. Beyond that I just wasn’t feeling the locked down UI and brain dead simple settings. KDE is too deep and has too many menus. Mint does it best. Little depth, little options, not enough to fuck things up too bad but still allow you to make it yours.
I haven’t tried Cosmic yet, but for me it’s the opposite: I feel GNOME (and KDE) is needlessly complex / bloated. Give me a simple tiling window manager that’s efficient, quick and always reliable. No real need for menus or fancy animated toolbar widgets, just snappy instant response to my keypresses.
UX is as varied as people’s tastes, and they also might evolve with the times.

UX is a subjective topic.
This.
