yeah, i got used to gnome3 during a redhat class, and subsequently on a default kali install for its own particular purpose, and i don't mind it at all. the alignment is good, and when you want to get rid of all the border stuff you can just full screen.
for example, my firefox looks like something out of windows 95, but if i want to pretend i'm using i3, f11 -> fullscreen, ctrl+tab and i'm set. and if i want to see a bookmark toolbar, url bar, tabs, a title bar, and a menu, i can. why not?
and yeah, the real goodness (which is not unique to gnome3) is the snap alignment stuff and ease of using virtual desktops and setting keyboard shortcuts. gnome3 could be a lot worse than it is. (edit: for me, everything gnome3 does, kde does better, but gnome3 "just works" a lot better than kde and, to some degree, unity. i'd rather be using i3 generally, but that can be more effort to maintain than its worth in certain situations)
- amiga-workbench 10y agoI find window snapping pretty essential, using a Mac without better touch tool is truly painful. For my taste, Gnome 3 only needs a few small tweaks, dash to dock, dropdown terminal, and jetisoning adwaita out of the nearest airlock. http://i.imgur.com/jo7XbHl.png http://i.imgur.com/jo7XbHl.png
- oneeyedpigeon 10y agoI see greener grass in a parallel universe where the best Apple designers got together and created a really, really good tiling window manager — available as an addition to what we already have. I feel that whoever chose the Miller columns view in Finder, or whoever came up with the persistent global menu bar, these guys should be giving us an amazing tiling wm.
- v1dik 10y agoLovely screenshot. Mind sharing that wallpaper?

- Normal_gaussian 10y agoYou say you would rather be using i3 generally, yet you also say that you can pretend by using fullscreen on a window. Do you not use the tiling? Do you simply use it for greater screen real-estate? I'm curious as my preference of i3 focuses on the tiling
- simondedalus 10y agoNo I totally use it for tiling as well; I just meant that the "too much chrome" complaint about gnome3 can be overcome. And while not as good as real tiling, keyboard shortcuts to the various snapped positions go a long way for the couple minutes of effort they require to configure in the settings UI. Edit: e.g. super+arrow keys for various areas, or add in shift. Not a lot of planning required.
