> As for themes, I quite like the new libadwaita theme, and prefer it to the default GTK theme. You're free to disagree, but you can't say your opinion is correct, nor can I.

That's the thing - you can say a particular design decision is incorrect. There's objective metrics around good user design.

It's not just an opinion - there's measurements you can make and metrics you can collect that serve as evidence for or against a particular design.
