I totally agree with you.
Yes: G3 sets a new paradigm in User Experience, AND that's one of the
great things about it. Of course it needs work, otherwise, as Jasper
implied earlier, it would be perfect, and not being perfect (I've known
little or no perfect thing in my lifetime) is fun for developers. Still,
I think users with less reticence to change will find G3 as a great work
on progress, perfectly usable for daily work. Those who find it annoying
should simply switch to a different Desktop Environment (G2 or else).
