I actually like GNOME Shell looks, BUT the problem is, I can't get any work done with it.
The Alt-Tab behavior and other things are just to different.
It also seems does not seem to want to be useful for dual-monitor setups.
I do intent to look into more GNOME Shell extensions and options, maybe try what the Linux Mint developers are doing: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1851
And I don't think XFCE looks good as GNOME 2, it is also missing some of the useful parts I was used to in GNOME 2.

alt-tab switches applications
alt-~ switches windows between applications.
It's different, but It is actually much more useful, IMO.
The trouble with it is that if you are using Windows a lot and have to switch back and forth.

Actually that is the part I think is useful too.
One of the things about alt-tab I don't like is that it lists applications from other desktops.
There is no other WM that does that and with other WM this is one of the reasons I have different desktops.
Each desktop is for a different task, why would I want to clutter the alt-tab list with the applications which are not related to my current task.

It first switches between applications in the existing workspace before going to others. You notice that in the popup; it has a line between current workspace and others. Took quite some getting used it in the beginning. Still not sure if the behaviour is better or not (sometimes I like it, sometimes I hate it).

My problem is I'm about 99% in the hate it camp ;-)

Always showing one of 2-3 is a lot simpler; it's pretty rare that I want to see a long master list of all windows.

I use 8 workspaces usually. More of less the same as in GNOME 2, there I had 12 configured, but mostly used about 8 of them (rest were empty).
