Two years ago I was running dwm with custom patches or EXWM or i3 on top of a Guix hybrid, and zsh in urxvt or st or maybe eshell instead.
I'm more productive now.

How does this improve your productivity?

I have to ask the same question - a productive DE/WM (to me) is something that stays out of your way - and I can't say that GNOME does that.

Of what
James Powell
It does what I want, and it comes with the features I want.
I no longer need to set up redshift, xbindkeys, setxkbmap, feh/xsetroot, scrot, dmenu, etcetera, because all the functionality I got from that is built into GNOME and wrapped in a thoughtful interface.
I do use the tweak tool to turn the dash into a dock, get the system tray back, add minimize and maximize buttons, and a few other things. But after that, most things I want to do are one click or keypress away. I raise or lower windows, switch to programs or start them, switch workspaces, all with less mental load than a tiling WM ever required and with less ricing invested.
The only thing I really miss is i3/Haiku-style tabbed windows. Those are great.
