"Usability first, EyeCandy later..." EXACTLY!! People like myself,Sean Brady, and the countless other people that have commented on this whenever this sort of thread pops up in the mailing list, feel the way you switch apps now in GNOME shell IS A USABILITY ISSUE, that needs to be fixed. The only mouse driven way to switch currently is via the overlay, which arguably is more eye candy than usability. I've pointed out how it's more mouse movement (compared to the 2.X window list) and the buttons are smaller (compared to the 2.X window list). "but are they really necessary on a Day to Day Base? Me thinks not ;)" I don't use accessibility features on a day to day base, guess that means no one else does and therefore GNOME Shell shouldn't use it. I don't like this title "Do/not implement Dock" I mean, I personally would like SOME SORT of window switcher, even if it weren't specifically a dock. I loved the idea of breadcrumbs, but the GNOME devs would rather just waste the space right of the Activities menu to show you the active application and maybe some mysterious 'menu' if they ever get around to it.

Please, Gnome Shell is about creating something thats supposed to guide us into the future of DE's. So whats the sense in including Gimmicks that fruity company invented what, like 10 years ago?
Usability first, EyeCandy later... And now please dont think i dont know how useful things like Docky or AWN appear to be, i've tested both for quite some time and keep doing so with every significant change to those Apps, but are they really necessary on a Day to Day Base? Me thinks not ;)
