Bravo.
I've been running the beta through Fedora 15 (Rawhide) for a while, and while I may not personally agree to everything, this is a start of something new and fresh for the Gnome project.

Gnome shell at times feels a bit hampering, but if you do not make a release until it's "perfect" you'll never get a feel of where you want to go. So, in this case, I'll applaud a release.

Great job, and most definitely the start of something wonderful.

I like it.

Using Gnome-shell is a lot faster for me (once I got used to it) then older MS Windows-style setup.

Also thank goodness for gnome-tweak-tool. :)
