Agreed on all points, but I would add that people needing a "fixed Gnome 3" should give Cinnamon a try: a sensible mix of old (the "traditional desktop" approach) and new (Gnome 3 framework, expose modes, etc.). Still young, but 1.6 has proved to be very very stable, and there's a lively community coding themes, applets etc.

I also have found Cinnamon 1.6 to be very stable. It will occasionally display icons on the desktop (I have this disabled), but that is the only problem that I have had after using it for months on a daily basis.
