These are not "experiments". Nothing was tested.
Until there are tests these "experiments" are worthless.

reasons off the top of my head:
* Dragging is difficult for some
* The mental switching from documentation to application mode seems
distracting, at least to me.
* If we dream of a document based desktop, then why do I need to
think, "Hmm, where's my file manager gone" when I want to save the
document?

But none of these (bar the first) is backed by user testing. So user
test it (on the class of users that GNOME is targetting), then come
back to us.
