I agree completely. Alt+F2's command line is also really quick for the odd-ball thing you need to run. I used to have to have an applet for that, and it was always clunky. Now it is built in [and people keep talking about having 'less features'... not the GNOME Shell I've met]. Built in screencast recording - Awesome! There have been apps for that in the past - none of them have worked well. Shell's screencast recording works perfectly every time; and painless. Accessibility options are findable and usable. > Whoever > thought up the Frequent / All buttons deserves kudos. > I have seen that most postings are in relation to issues/regressions, > etc., That is the natural negative bias of the Internet. Happy people do not have a motivation to post - they are happy! The sad thing is most people who read Internet forums/lists/news don't keep that in mind; that makes everything look bad, and really revs up those who are naturally negative themselves. > but this time I felt compelled to write congratulating the Gnome Team. > Gnome 3.8 is great. > When I initially installed Gnome 3 I disliked it, but kept coming back > in hopes that it would improve. Well it has, GREATLY. This new version > is spot on. So easy to use and well thought out. It does take some getting used to, one has to be willing to change some of one's own practices. But I agree that it is worth it; the result is a much smoother, less cluttered, desktop environment. <http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com/2011/05/fortnight-with-gnome3.html> > Congratulations on a job well done.
