The status of gnome2 in experimental is very good. I can't find a good reason to keep it out of unstable other that the idea shared by a few that yet another debian level would be good (stable/testing/unstable/...). I use it since a few month and I am very happy with it. Before that I was using gnome1 and a few gnome2 app (like you certainly sawfish and gnome-terminal) and my old laptop was slowdown by the doubled ram requirements of having both sets of library.
Note that gnome2 is a huge improvment over gnome1 (even if you have to accept a few changes) et also note that all recently released distribution use gnome2. The problem with using gnome2 out of experimental is that unlike a staging aera you get all the experimental stuff not related to gnome (unless you tweak apt).
