please no one turn this into a gnome 3 flame war. all I wan to know is what HCI flaws did gnome make? it seems fairly universally hated, but unconfigured (fresh rhel or centos install). I like it better than 2.x. I recognize I am unusual in many ways so I wanted to know if maybe I was using 2.x wrong. my workflow on any os is press button start typing the name of an app then hit enter dock to a position on screen then do everything from there. I like it shows what is in the workspace when I got the button. I want to dock apps, move between workspaces and move apps between workspace and start apps only using the keyboard. don't muh care about anything else as long as there is a dark theme. rat poison was a bridge to far for me, but that is the general idea
While I’m always surprised that Gnome seems less powerful and configurable with each release, after installing Dash To Panel it’s mostly tolerable. I too have few needs from a window manager beyond ‘runs emacs’.
