The idea behind GNOME Shell and Unity is that it gets out of the way and lets you get on with your work. It mostly seems to do that for me. > They are targeting Gnome3 at a class of user I don't fit into (probably > applies to the way ubuntu is going too but that is a distro I have no > intention of using). > The target for Ubuntu is everyone. Some people will self-select themselves out of that group, and that's fine. Nobody is forcing anyone to use it.
