That'll be Gnome 3.  Gnome 3 is a Good Thing. But this is not the place
for that sort of discussion.  It's just different, that's all.

Well, from a server admin's point of view, RHEL7 / CentOS7 is much more
geared up for graphical interfaces and use as a workstation!

I can't think of anything more removed from Windows than Gnome3!
Although I do dislike some of the extensions RHEL7 has put on it to try
and make it more "comfortable" for users.

What you need is 'gnome-tweak-tool' - that's how you change how Gnome
looks.

It is mature - it's already had a few years, that's the point of
RHEL/CentOS.  Nothing fundamental is going to change in the lifetime of
that particular OS.  If want the "proper" Gnome3 experience, try Fedora
- F22 is out in a month or so and that has Gnome 3.16 on it.
