I was just responding to another person's direct comment there which was 
showing a misunderstanding of what the problem (IMHO) is.. Don't worry, I 
know my comments will not trigger any change, so I'm not even expecting an 
answer that I like.

If you go back to the beginning of this whole thread, you will notice a few 
things:

- I liked what I saw on YouTube
- I didn't like what I experienced when I used it
- I was _asked_ to explain why

It triggered this whole thread.

In the meantime, I went to read as to why Gnome Shell introduced overview. 
Something about users having their focus taken away and having more space 
available (I have just about the same space available in my Gnome 2 and 
have taskbar and workplace switcher). I wasn't sure whether I should laugh 
or cry.

In order for me not to be distracted when I want to do one of the 
following:

- start an app
- find a hidden window
- switch workspace

I get the busiest interface known to man, which contains at least 2/3 of 
stuff I don't want. To avoid distraction.

Seriously, who writes that stuff?

I'm wondering how are all the users of Windows and OS X surviving at all. 
They must all be sufferring from ADD by now. :-)
