OK, we get it, we get it, you don't like Gnome 3. Every handful of years things change enough in an OS that it makes people uncomfortable, and a certain percentage then believe it's their duty to beat their chests for a year about just how bad the new stuff is. After about 18 months it's started to quiet down significantly, and before long the same crowd mostly can't live without it.
It's a bit boring, though, right?
Don't get me wrong, Gnome Shell in 3.0 / F15 was rather rough, but that is how it goes in open source. You don't get nearly enough usage testing until you announce it's gone gold.
While I did switch to ubuntu/unity for the time being as Fedora had some other issues, I absolutely saw enough of a spark in Gnome Shell to know I'll be back checking out 3.2 as soon as I have some time. While Unity is much more stable and polished I think gnome shell shows signs of having a much better usability once the rough edges get sanded down.
