Fortunately it does!  So your wish is granted.

Nope, I use it all day every day and have no clue what this [or all the
similar vague railings] means.  I use multiple large displays, keyboard
and mouse.  It works perfectly well with GNOME shell, and GNOME shell
exploits all the resources very effectively.

No, no, and no.  This meme is just a tired saw.  The target was to
create a modern and effective desktop.  A goal achieved.

Yes, and GNOME does this.  Effects can be minimized, if required.
Although it runs perfectly well on both my Chromebook [running openSUSE
12.3] and my 6 year old 32-bit laptop.

That is 2+ major releases old.  GNOME 3.6 changed how video
'acceleration' was managed.  [which I can only guess is what your
complaint is - since you do not specify].

Sorry,  GNOME 2 is done, dead, and buried.
