GNOME Shell 2.91.90 released

I tend to have a lot of things opened and minimized, available at a single mouseclick. Perhaps not all at once, but often including my email, the browser while logged in to internet banking, my openoffice log of internet banking transactions into which I paste what I've been doing, a terminal for a myriad things, a terminal su'd, the next iso I'm downloading, the software update windows. Currently there is a nice index at bottom of screen as to what is what. Workspaces don't have that and icons within them are small and not all distinctive.

Maximize for movies, to get instant full-screen without having to muck around dragging it to the edge, still having other stuff distracting around the edge, having aspect ratio taken care of. Spreadsheets and file-browsing windows also benefit from maximize.

I like control of where I put stuff, and although not a Ubuntu user have shied away from the enforced dictates I hear of there.

Can gnome developers can be so wedded to an idea that they are comfortable just amputating tools I use every couple of minutes? I've the impression they ignore bug reports and feedback, so I guess this is only a little step down the road.
