I tried to like GNOME 3. I really tried. Used it for six weeks. Hated every minute of it. Everything just got harder for no reason. I understand why Linus Torvalds and so many people hate it: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/linus-torvalds-would-like-to-see-a-gnome-fork/9347 I switched to non-accelerated, which activates GNOME 2-like mode. It became bearable. It stopped getting in my way. Yesterday I discovered Cinnamon, which is a fork of GNOME 3 (so it's got GNOME 3's good stuff underneath) but has all the comfort features I'm used to. The task bar is back! The desktop is back! The Start menu is back! Alt-Tab does sane things! Workspaces don't disappear just because there's nothing open in them! Does anyone remember egcs? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection#EGCS_fork egcs breathed new life into a gcc that had lost the plot. I could only hope that Cinnamon does the same for GNOME 3. Mitch.
