Gnome 3 is actually pretty good (once you install a few extensions from extensions.gnome.org.)
Much less cluttered than unity (most of the time you just have a single black bar at the top of the screen) and handles workspaces nicely.
I never liked gnome 2, though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
- trothamel 13y agoI'll second that extensions bit. The difference between Gnome and Unity is that if there's something you don't like about the former, you can install an extension to fix it. If there isn't an extension, you can write one - at least theoretically. Anecdotally, that sort of shifts the blame for missing functionality around. It's no longer "my wm is missing x" it's "I haven't written x for my wm yet."
- adwf 13y agoYeah, the extensions have really helped. The main problem there is that the extensions keep on falling out of compatibility. I have half a dozen extensions that used to work well and provided critical functionality, now they don't. No signs of anyone fixing them either, it's been 6 months since my Pidgin extension broke :(
