No, frame rate isn't the only factor. Gameplay, graphics quality, and overall experience matter too.

I concur. A steady performance is preferable to erratic changes, even if it means slightly lower frame rates.
It doesn’t really improve each frame on its own. I’d reduce the settings to achieve 1440p at 45-60 if that’s achievable. Exceeding 60 offers some advantages, but I personally don’t mind. At 60 it feels smooth enough for me.
I'm among the fortunate ones with a 3080, so I rarely have to make trade-offs. I usually crank everything up to 4K and Ultra, getting around 60-90 fps in most games. But I'd prefer at least a steady 60 fps even in singleplayer mode. Anything below that feels slow and choppy. The drops from 60 to 50 are noticeable and disrupt the experience. When I need higher performance, I usually begin at the render resolution. Lowering it to 80% or setting it to 1440p still delivers solid results on my 4K 27" display.
I'm talking about making the visuals more engaging. Running at 26 frames per second can make it seem unappealing, while 120fps offers a smoother, more impressive experience.
It's not the most crucial, but I really enjoy high frame rates. I'm running at 3440x1440 with 120Hz on my AW3418DW, though I mostly play single-player games. I aim for at least 60 FPS. My 2080 Ti is working well, but I'd like a 3090 to get that extra 25% boost.
I need to focus on maintaining a high frame rate, even if it means sacrificing some visual effects. With a 1440p display, I’ll adjust settings to keep over 70 frames per second. Lowering resolution isn’t my choice—it’s better to tweak other parameters than reduce quality. Switching back to 1080p feels out of place after the higher resolution.
My preference really comes down to the game I’m playing. As long as I can keep Forza titles running at 60fps, I’m fine. However, I’d rather enjoy Team Fortress 2 at a stable, reasonable frame rate.
60 is now seen as the lowest acceptable level for many, and maintaining it regularly would be ideal.
