Personally I love KDE Plasma. I can set up 4 virtual screens and move between them scrolling on the background. I can also set up Activites which can have multiple virtual screens. It is highly configurable and just does what I need.
Others prefer GNOME for the same reasons I don't like it. Thing is, you aren't tied down to one. You can likely make it look like Windows 2000.
With the change in how users store files (in Documents, Photos, Videos etc) the change in directory structures is less relevant. Processes you use each day are not going to be that different. I have a remote Linux desktop session running on one screen of my Windows laptop and things really aren't that different.
I would give you the application issue. If you need an application that only runs in Windows you are more tied in, despite the improvements made in getting Windows apps running under Linux. (I have Steam working with the games I want to run under Linux, generally as well as in Windows.)
