Yes. Like the fish. And all those 100500 applets, mostly useless but still...
The only hope for people not excited by gnome-shell is gnome2 compat mode in gnome3. I personally just hope that mode outlives gnome-shell. Or, gnome-shell devs would finally come to their senses and implement some kind of applet arch.
