I don't want to speak for Dante, but considering he says "one click" I'm
guessing he has shortcuts in either the top or bottom panel where no such thing
exists in GNOME Shell.
Even if you don't want to consider the overlay a click, it is still more mouse
movement. Up to the left to activate overlay, then back down to click on
shortcut.
Shortcuts on the GNOME Panel have the advantage of infinite height or width as
well, this advantage is lost in the overlay.

Well perhaps it would be best to tackle the individual issues...
I've linked to previous threads on my main issue with GNOME Shell
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2009-December/msg00052.html
Danté Ashton who started this particular discussion has an issue with:
"...the user, [having] to perform three extra clicks just to do what it takes
me one to do now?"
Денис Черемисов was less descriptive in their issue(s) though.
Precisely why I took him to task. Back on topic:
In the old method, it would take me 3 clicks to launch an application:
Applications->section->App
so that is three clicks.
In gnome-shell method, we have:
* 1 click for common used apps
* 2 clicks for any other apps
I don't consider going to the overview mode as a click. But if you did, it
would still be 2 or 3 clicks which is equivalent to the old method.
Initially there was categories for the apps, but was changed to a flat scheme
which reduced the number of key clicks.
