The reason I don't use Gnome is because it's only usable after you've installed a bunch of extensions yet after every update, half the extensions are always broken.

Same. I don't understand why it is the most popular desktop on Linux. It's like the Windows 8 of Linux GUIs.
-
I don't understand how you could say it's like Windows 8? I don't really see any meaningful similarities. Gnome is very much just its own thing.
It's the other DEs that are like windows. Start button bottom left that opens a cramped app menu. Taskbar on bottom. Clock on bottom right. Minimise, maximise, close buttons on the top right of each program. The Win95 UX paradigm, basically.

GNOME feels to me like it's designed for a tablet, not a keyboard and mouse. That's part of why I don't like it.
-
Gnome is extremely keyboard focused. Less so mouse, though.
-
I don't like desktop GUIs that aren't designed for a mouse and make you memorize keyboard shortcuts to be usable. Keyboard shortcuts are nice to have but shouldn't be mandatory, IMO.
That's why I prefer KDE and XFCE.
-
It is designed for a mouse, and they don't make you memorise keyboard shortcuts. It's very usable. It's not mandatory.
I really don't know where you're getting this from.
First you say it's tablet-focused, then you switch to saying it's solely keyboard-focused?
You can prefer Win95 UX all you want, nobody is stopping you.

It looks to me like it's designed for a tablet, and its fans tell me it's designed around keyboard shortcuts. I hate it.
