I've posted several messages about how great it is, and read several
such messages from other users.

People are probably leaving the gnome project, because
it became bad.

http://extensions.gnome.org/ has personalized solutions to Gnome
Shell's usability problems, so you can listen to all complaints.
You have to ship Gnome Shell with the gnome-shell-extensions-common 
package, but that's not enough.
People will use Gnome Shell, have problems and want solutions. If the
solutions aren't visible, they'll drop or hate Gnome Shell.

Distributions - which is what users use - can choose to ship with any
extensions packaged or enabled that they like.

If distributions were doing this right, people wouldn't be complaining.

There are two things you can do:
1. Ship Gnome Shell with the Dash to Dock extension and a hack to add 
minimize and maximize, so people won't have problems.

NO, PLEASE - minimize must die.  

Note that if you install your extensions will will still be there after
you upgrade, etc... so you only need to ever do this once.

 People have to stop to think about what window they were using.

2. Put a launcher "Change Gnome Now" to http://extensions.gnome.org/ 
in desktop, so people'll click it for solutions.

Actually an "Extension" section under "System Settings" would be nice.
But perhaps that is already in a GNOME Shell more current than mine.

For real? :-D
