RE: All GNOME Shell Developers.

Taking one person's impressions and then saying the whole idea is great makes a lousy argument as well.
This reminds me of the recent topic Re: Interface Changes http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2009-December/msg00052.html I'd love to hear what more devs thought.

It only took about 1 day for me.  It was very natural for me.  Taking one person's impressions and then saying the whole idea sucks makes a lousy argument against the gnome-shell concept.

It's too long and only proves the gnome-shell idea sucks.

It's actually more useful to someone with only one workspace because
they tend to have even more overlapping windows.

It only needs one click to switch windows anyway.  The top left corner
is a big target you can do a very approximate gesture to trigger the
zoom without clicking.

After a while it becomes second nature and I was surprised that it
feels very old fashioned to go back to a flat desktop.

Try Docky if you find the transition uncomfortable but it only takes a
few weeks.
