Well perhaps it would be best to tackle the individual issues...

I've linked to previous threads on my main issue with GNOME Shell

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2009-December/msg00052.html

Danté Ashton who started this particular discussion has an issue with:
 "...the user, [having] to perform three extra clicks just to do what it takes me one to do now?"

Денис Черемисов was less descriptive in their issue(s) though.

Precisely why I took him to task.  Back on topic:

In the old method, it would take me 3 clicks to launch an application:
Applications->section->App

so that is three clicks.

In gnome-shell method, we have:

* 1 click for common used apps
* 2 clicks for any other apps

I don't consider going to the overview mode as a click.  But if you did, it would still be 2 or 3 clicks which is equivalent to the old method.

Initially there was categories for the apps, but was changed to a flat scheme which reduced the number of key clicks.
