I find gnome3 to be not very different from gnome2 *if* I run it in "fallback mode". Try it: System Settings::System Info::Graphics:: Forced Fallback Mode::On So far I find gnome-shell to be pointless, but I'll try it every few months to see if I change my mind. (Normally my wife changes my mind for me, but she's not interested in linux so she doesn't care.)
