I dislike client-side decorations because they're inconsistent with other windows.
Like, I get why people want client-side decorations—they pack more stuff into available screen space and look kinda cool—but I'd much rather have title bars I can count on.

@argv_minus_one when I was on Gnome I saw it the other way around - since Gnome apps have header bars (which is what they are, client-side decoration just means the app draws its own title bar and borders, instead of the WM/compositor) I saw apps that *don't* have them as being out of place and breaking consistency :P I still kinda miss them tbh, though KDE I does a good enough job these days at visually merging the title bar and the toolbar that I don't really mind that it's missing here that much... until the recurring bug of selecting an app causing the toolbar to get the correct colouration a split second after the title bar occurs and ruins the illusion 😔
