Yes. I prefer having tools that do one thing well. That's the point of unix. How the user uses them should be up to her.

GNOME offering a monolithic environment with heavy opinionation is the opposite.



How is GNOME a "monolithic environment"? The entire GNOME ecosystem is basically small apps that do a single thing well:

https://apps.gnome.org/


So is X11, by that logic

https://cyber.dabamos.de/unix/x11/


That page literally just lists all sorts of random apps that work under X11, so yeah? Of course it's not a single monolithic system.
