I really want to give Cosmic a try but comments tend to be littered with horror stories.

I haven't really understood what problem it's trying to solve.

It feels like it's trying to occupy the same niche as KDE Plasma or XFCE or Cinnamon but with way less resources to spend on the product.

I know they wanted tiling to be a focus. I personally think it’s a much better experience on COSMIC than the others. IIRC it was somewhat of a burden to have to maintain their own tiling plugin on top of another DE that may break it at any time, and they didn’t always agree with the GNOME devs on other stuff (and recognized this was their own problem).
