It's hard for me to be "super happy" with a DE. But GNOME 3 does mean that I don't notice it all that often, and that's pretty good. It's predictable, it doesn't look ugly, and applications act about as predictably as they ever have in the Linux universe. I grew out of theming and tweaking the look of a desktop before I got to high school. These days the only tweaking I do on any OS is keyboard shortcuts. The baseline has gotten good enough to just not care, and my guess is that that's most users' position regardless of OS.
