I always look forward to new Gnome releases, and I still switch back and forth between Plasma and Gnome all the time...

I've been using GNOME on Wayland for over 5 years and I can't recall it ever crashing. Hangs and freezes, yes, but not a full crash. I guess the fact that users feel the need to track "crash recovery" as a feature is indicative of KDE's stability.
I've been on Gnome for few a months now, and have already had plenty episodes of it freezing, or crashing, or not coming back out of sleep, or dropping to the login screen with all my programs gone.
Weird. Nvidia? I’ve never had a crash either
That's highly likely a hardware issue. And if you have a hardware issue then I wonder about your crashes.
That's really odd. I have been using it for like 3 years so far and I haven't had many problems like those, and when I did they were intel/amd gpu driver bugs/crashes or kdenlive as I mentioned before.
KDE is nowhere near as bad as it used to be for bugs and instability.
Don't get me wrong, IMO Gnome is still substantially more stable and bug-free, but you'd be surprised how much more stable Plasma has become over the past year.
And unlike with Plasma 4 and early Plasma 5, for Plasma 6 KDE actually seems to want to have it be a fairly stable system on release. They're moving in the right direction.
For me Gnome on Wayland crashes when KDEnlive crashes and takes down the whole desktop.
