I had removed the use of the traditional gnome panels in my Gnome2 
setup. So Gnome3 is on the right track in my personal opinion.

I like the idea of javascript based plugins like in Firefox. I think 
that could become the killer feature of Gnome3. Of course Gnome3 is far 
from ready now. But is has a lot of potential. Potential discoverable by 
the user.
