I also have a vertical panel. Given that monitors are (sadly) conforming more and more to wide-screen formats, I tend to have a surfeit of space at the sides of my monitor, and a lack of it top and bottom on my computers and laptop. Vertical panels are perfectly place to stick non-text icon bars. Sad to hear they're gone.

Really glad to hear the control-key-in-right-place option is still there (if buried)!

I'd like to try GNOME-shell, but it's been at least a year since any versions available as packages for released Fedora distros has actually worked on any of my systems!

Well, we liberated more vertical space by getting rid of the bottom panel and we moved that function in to the dash which is only shown on the left when in the overview.

I never had 2 panels top and bottom. Only ever top OR bottom, and (with more recent, wider monitors) one at the side. The space at the sides of my desktops tends to be dead-space, unless I stick a panel there.
