I know I was one of them. Although, I was able to replace metacity with sawfish in the gnome environment, even though it seemed that gnome kept making switching the window-manager harder at each release. I even eventually did:
# rm /usr/bin/metacity
and that worked well :-)

And this has been my #1 complaint about Gnome3. I just don't work well with the gnome3 workflow. I really liked gnome2 and after a decade of tweaks I really streamlined my workflow with it. Gnome3 destroyed that. I've said it in the past and I'll say it again...
The biggest thing I hate about Gnome3 is that it took gnome2 away from me.

May I ask what you think about Fallback mode? Once someone pointed out that you have to hold down Alt while clicking on the panels to customize them, I felt right at home.
