It's great that see people have a positive experience with gnome
shell. Thank you for this.
BUT, i really could not use it if it wheren't for docky. I really
don't like how the window navigation works and that there is no
easy accessible quickstart on the desktop (without extension, and
even then docky is much bette) for apps i use often.
Also, more builtin configuration options would be nice, like the
theme selection, session-properties,
There is nothing wrong with using another external app if something
doesn't work right for you. I occasionally use docky myself to
quickly run apps. For instance, docky has support for ssh, so I can
easily to ssh's to other machines.
I don't expect gnome-shell to address every work flow out there,
that's why we have third party utilities.
sri
notification filtering, etc.
One thing that's bugging me is this:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664331 , but it's not
that big of a problem.
So while i'm happy with gnome-shell, i'm all for integrating some
of the most used extensions into the core, with an option to
enable/disable them.

using
gnome-shell with GNU/Dedian since more than one years (I was
using the
first version appearing in experimental, yes there was some
issues at
this stage!).
Now I think my productivity is better. The desktop looks clean
and with
the help of some extensions (Dash to dock, All in one places, Web
search) I'm more than really happy!
Changing everything in the shell area was a big challenge and
it needs
time to *adapt* to this new desktop. I'm sure 3.6 will be even
better!
The key point is *adapt*, people not wanting to adapt will
stay with
other shells, and new comers will probably love gnome-shell,
it is not
possible to please everybody!
Keep up the great work and thanks to the dev team!
Pascal.

*1. Ship Gnome Shell with the Dash to Dock extension and a hack to add
minimize and maximize*, so people won't have problems.
Not everybody wants to have a dock to launch application. I have never
used the
"dock" inside the overview or dash and in the 2 days i was using that
the dock
was the most annoying thing.
imho alt + f2 is much faster than using the mouse and click. I have only
one extension
that changes the "look and feel" of the shell: Auto hide topbar.
Moving between windows with alt + tab and placing them on different
workspaces is everything
i need. *
*Adding minimize/maximize buttons to the shell is quite easy:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gnome+shell+minimize
again, i thing you are faster if you use settings - keyboard - minimize
window and set
it to what every you want.*
2. Put a launcher "Change Gnome Now" to http://extensions.gnome.org/
in desktop*, so people'll click it for solutions.
A small "Getting Started" with some information about the tweak tool and
the extensions
would be really nice.
Thanks to the gnome team for there excellent work!
