i am running gnome-shell for about half a year now, i really tried to
get used to the overview and the task switcher. i first thought the
overview mode was just an additional feature to manage multiple
workspaces, but it became clear that i was supposed to do everything
with it (starting apps, history, window overview, etc). i don't know,
some people seem to like it, but for me, it just breaks my workflow if i
have to enter the overview (not to mention that i often have a
fullscreen window, tv or documentation or something, on my second
monitor which goes black when i enter the overview). 
without docky as an taskbar/launcher i would have switched back long
ago ... actually i'm thinking about going back using the old top panel
and docky as the only thing i'm using of gnome-shell right now is the
big clock + calendar in the panel.
