> Is there a WM out there that can do the basic quality-of-life functions of today's DEs?
I think FVWM is what you are looking for. Last commit on May 10. https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3/

Happy Birthday Linus !
What's to miss? It's still around! :)

FVWM! Not exactly kicking, but still alive in 2022.

I think the GNOME designers are incompetent
Fun fact: Openbox, Blackbox and Fluxbox all stopped active development around 2015. What happened in that year?
Anothre fun fact: FVWM is still more or less actively developed: https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3

Fvwm3 1.0.3 release!
Thomas recently finished version 1.0.3! Some major changes include: * perllib: remove references to Tk #502 (ThomasAdam) * Remove xpmroot link. #495 (somiaj) * Remove FvwmConsoleC.pl front-end #379 (slazav) * New DesktopConfiguration mode: shared which mimiks how desktops are handled by other WMs such as Xmonad or Spectrwm in that desks are shared across all attached monitors. * Panframe support has been reworked which means switching between pages with the mouse on monitor edges should now work as expected. * Lots of fixes to plug memory-leaks. Check it out here!

Introducing GNOME 46, "Kathmandu"
Oh yeah, no. Multiple entire desktop environments with significant popularity (Cinnamon, MATE) owe their existence today to how universally hated GNOME 3 was, and how obstinant and intolerant the GNOME developers were towards differing opinions that challenged their "vision".
In fact, the same thing is sorta playing out even right now with GTK4 and other GNOME stuff, though I think with somewhat less public spectacle but arguably even larger development efforts behind it:

Start menu icon
Other editions of Solus use Papirus icons (https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/releases), and the Budgie project created its own menu icon recently: https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/blob/main/data/icons/actions/budgie-menu-symbolic.svg

I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)
Budgie might be worth checking out (I've used it on Manjaro): https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop It was extremely responsive on a 2009 laptop.
Otherwise whatever AntiX and Puppy use, which are mouse-driven UIs, are probably lower-resource than Budgie.

Fedora 37 is GO
This is the way: https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/wiki/Budgie-Desktop-on-Fedora
- Is the Budgie team still considering moving from GTK to EFL(Enlightenment toolkit)?

what is the status of budgie DE?
You might try asking at their official GitHub page or read thru the wiki there and see if it gives some info.

don't get me wrong, Linux is great and it's my daily driver, but... who pays for everything?
You claim that Solus doesn't have any, but the budgie desktop has over 70 different contributors. https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/graphs/contributors

Vala Programming Language
I just learned that the Budgie Desktop is written in Vala.
https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop
Also, on Arch I use Pamac as a GUI for package management and it is written in Vala as well.
I have used apps for quite a long time before realizing they were written in Vala. Not great for marketing but otherwise I would consider that one of its strengths.
