I feel like I'm the only one with a "thing" about putting icons on their desktop. Hahaha.
I never understood the whole no icons thing. I'm curious, why do you avoid desktop icons? I mean, as long as you keep up on the organization/cleanliness of your desktop it won't really obscure your wallpaper, which is the main thing that comes to mind.

It really has nothing to do with seeing my wallpaper. It's more about I can't find anything if it gets saved to my desktop. I have like 10 windows and programs opened at once, hiding/minimizing them to get to my desktop is counter productive! I also find that shortcuts are super cluttering since I never use them anyway. I hate organizing my files LATER as opposed to just doing it in the first place. If it's a temporary file it gets saved into my Downloads folder, that way when it's time to clean I just delete the entire folder. Haha, yeah... I'm pretty picky.

A couple old-gold fan themes I made.
I think the most impressive, purely for the effort, was my galaxion Cybernetica one, though.

This is how my desktop is currently looking like. That .mp3 of "Operating in the Dark" is just sitting there to remind me that I still have to make a looping .ogg of it. :D
Other than that, I like my desktop clean not cluttered. ^_^

Macro, I'm a musician so I have plastered my walls in my apartment with instruments already, I sleep in a piano and I use note sheets instead of tissues. I think considering that, I don't really need music-related stuff on my desktop as well. XD

Currently this is my desktop.
I'm a stickler for having a clean desktop.
I also recently sorted out my documents which had 666 files strewn about, and did some spring-cleaning, a defrag, virus scans, registry repair, etc.
Have over a third of my hard drive freed up now. It's a 1TB ton-o-fun. I'd had only 50 gigabytes left the day prior.
My desktop has no use for shortcuts, I-- have no use for shortcuts on a field which is out of view the moment I have any single application open (this includes windows explorer). That's why all my important programs are on the taskbar, it's quicky and easy to access and is always available, except in the scenario I'm playing a full screen game, which is fine, because at that point, I've no need to access it.
My desktop is my pride space, it's where I look at only twice during a typical computer session, on bootup, then on close down. Cluttering it with icons, sans the recycle bin, is a completely pointless and ugly endeavor. I never use desktop shortcuts. I'm more comfortable with pressing the windows key and putting in a keyword and finding whatever I want that way.
Often, I like to have music while I work, say I wanted to play Megalovania dual mix, I could... have a desktop shortcut leading to the folder in which it's contained, but frankly...

I can't speak for cunechan, but I can relay why I choose to not belittle my desktop with icons.

Mine is uh... kind of a mess right now.
I have sessions of introverted self-questioning, ranting, and stuff at times. My desktop begins to look like an insane person's bedroom wall by the end.

I find it extremely cluttering. I go through and arrange all my desktop icons into folders about every month. I don't even know why I have desktop icons. I see my desktop probably once a month anyway (I never turn off my laptop and I have so much stuff open at all times that it's nearly impossible to get to the background.)
Icons are ugly. Wallpapers are pretty.
You can reach everything you need from the start menu with Windows 8 and 10, so there isn't really a need to crowd your desktop with shortcuts.
