My controversial take:
Linux desktops peaked with KDE 3.5.x. (Gnome is a ghastly abomination and KDE's been going downhill ever since.)
macOS desktops peaked with Snow Leopard (10.6). Everything since then has gone downhill in UX. (Honourable exception: filesystems and backup support. But those are below the desktop level ...)
Windows never had a peak to fall off and has been subterranean for decades. Put it out of its misery and start over from IBM's mid-80s CUI spec.

@cstross I have always liked Gnome from quite early on, even through the years of having a new window manager every year. I don't like programming for GTK, but I like the best of the apps people have made with it, especially these days.

@cstross KDE always felt weird and sluggish on my machines at the time (the early 00s, I haven't tried it since as I'm set in my ways with Gnome, which I think currently looks as good as it ever has, though I have some complaints about the state of the Linux desktop with Wayland and X11 both being harmed by the other).
