Well I'm using Gnome3 and it actually works quite good. I think if you
stop hating it because its different you could accept it as alternative
userinterface if not even love it!
(I'm neither developer nor "grade schooler")

Regarding the fredom you mentioned: It's not at all a freedom to dictate
the developers its a freedom to install what you want and where you want
it! And a freedom to change everything (in code not in settings)! If you
are not happy just modify it or install a different DE.

If you look up some of your Problems with internet search engines you
will find a lot of sollutions:

http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/get-classic-gnome-desktop-with-these.html

so just have fun with the new Gnome!
