I don't see GNOME shell as a mobile interface.

What kind of interface it is then?
Many people are still trying to figure it out..

Looks and feel very good on my 27", 2560 × 1440 screen and my 720p netbook. As a user, I would say it is a general desktop gui.

the GNOME developers say that the reason they changed things was for mobile devices, so you may not see it as a mobile interface, but the developers are saying that they do.

Think you misinterpret those statements, GNOME 3 is not for mobile devices. Some things changed to make it easier using bad input devices, like the trackpad on a laptop. Some things are to support tablets (the hiding of mouse cursor in 3.2). Some developers (hadess) really like tablets and ensure that is supported and blog about it. However, just because there is some support for "mobile devices" does not mean GNOME 3 is for mobile devices. IMO 3.2 would be terrible on a phone and wonder if the on screen keyboard from 3.2 is good enough to rely on it on a tablet.
Not sure why you refer to "GNOME developers", but think I am not part of that. I've said elsewhere already that I'm part of the GNOME release team... though don't think that matters much in a discussion and would result in wrong assumptions. Meaning: being part of the release team is not about seeing everything with a glare of sunshine (marketing team).
