Gnome 3 plays nicely with on screen launchers.

Such change would make UI a bit more like Gnome 2, thus, reducing amount
of change people experience when they go from Gnome 2 to 3.

Gosh... You ALWAYS take the cursor to a launcher, wherever it is.
But now, on the main screen, you don't even SEE the launcher.
You need to do some action (Win key or mouse gesture) to make it
visible, and THEN you can click it. This is not an improvement
compared to Gnome 2, however you slice it.
