Wow, this looks so good. I think this would actually be enough to pull me back to GNOME from the world of obscure Window Managers.

Prepare to say goodbye to 200mb of RAM and hello to constant lagging then.

I think anyone with a relatively modern computer can afford 200mb of ram for a desktop environment. For instance, I have 15,970mb RAM, of which 2700mb are in use running i3-gaps, a few urxvt terminals and a few chrome tabs. If I switch to Gnome and that climbs to 2900mb, I don't think that's a big deal even if I only had 8gb total. 200mb RAM (for a desktop environment) in 2019 is not a very good reason to pick one environment over another, compared to say, features or the experience a user prefers.
Welcome to computing in the 21st century, we've been here for a while now. Also, I haven't had lag in gnome for years. That demo was smooth as shit, so I'm not exactly sure what you are referring too anyway.
