I yelled as loud as any with the first few iterations/years of Gnome 3, it was pretty bad. But, after a few tweaks, it is my work desktop of choice now + Ubuntu.

Usually it means that it's time to “rethink the desktop”, sigh. And, what's worse, I know some people who really plan to do that. My only hope is that GNOME wouldn't follow this time, but I don't hold my breath.

There is a hotkey to rethink your desktop. It's Ctrl-Alt-F1. Instant pain-free environment :-D

Some distros put the desktop alt-ctrl-f1 instead of alt-ctrl-f7.

I use xfce (with i3). I think xfce was written for those who don't want to reinvent the desktop.
