Id agree with your overall point that gnome 3 is a great desktop environment. But I also agree with many of the authors points about the plain wierd default settings and non user-friendly way you have to go about getting gnome 3 to be the desktop env you want. For me I love gnome 3 now, but getting my setup how I wanted was not a task for the light hearted. I think thats the biggest problem gnome 3 has to be honest.
