For me, Gnome 3 appears as part of Fedora 13->15 upgrade.
I didn't elect to try this new UI. It is sort of forced on Fedora 15
users, unless they want to be left on soon-to-be obsolete unsupported
Fedora 13 (not a realistic option for me).

Very different situation from "one installs Gnome 3 because
he hates Gnome 2 and needs something newer and different".

Explaining:
Now I need to move it upwards, then downwards.

If I want to start four apps in a row, which I do every day in the
morning, I can't go up and click-click-click-click, I need to
go up, go down and click,
go up, go down and click,
go up, go down and click,
go up, go down and click. 

What about a compromise like not kicking you out of the overview after launching apps?
