It's great that see people have a positive experience with
gnome shell. Thank you for this.
BUT, i really could not use it if it wheren't for docky. I
really don't like how the window navigation works and that
there is no easy accessible quickstart on the desktop (without
extension, and even then docky is much bette) for apps i use
often.
Also, more builtin configuration options would be nice, like
the theme selection, session-properties,
There is nothing wrong with using another external app if
something doesn't work right for you. I occasionally use
docky myself to quickly run apps. For instance, docky has
support for ssh, so I can easily to ssh's to other machines.
I don't expect gnome-shell to address every work flow out
there, that's why we have third party utilities.
sri
notification filtering, etc.
One thing that's bugging me is this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664331
, but it's not that big of a problem.
So while i'm happy with gnome-shell, i'm all for integrating
some of the most used extensions into the core, with an option
to enable/disable them.

I'm using
gnome-shell with GNU/Dedian since more than one years (I
was using the
first version appearing in experimental, yes there was
some issues at
this stage!).
Now I think my productivity is better. The desktop looks
clean and with
the help of some extensions (Dash to dock, All in one
places, Web
search) I'm more than really happy!
Changing everything in the shell area was a big challenge
and it needs
time to *adapt* to this new desktop. I'm sure 3.6 will be
even better!
The key point is *adapt*, people not wanting to adapt will
stay with
other shells, and new comers will probably love
gnome-shell, it is not
possible to please everybody!
Keep up the great work and thanks to the dev team!
Pascal.

1.
Ship Gnome Shell with the Dash to Dock extension and a hack to
add
minimize and maximize, so people won't have problems.
Not everybody wants to have a dock to launch application. I have
never used the
"dock" inside the overview or dash and in the 2 days i was using
that the dock
was the most annoying thing.
imho alt + f2 is much faster than using the mouse and click. I have
only one extension
that changes the "look and feel" of the shell: Auto hide topbar.
Moving between windows with alt + tab and placing them on different
workspaces is everything
i need.
Adding minimize/maximize buttons to the shell is quite easy:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gnome+shell+minimize
again, i thing you are faster if you use settings - keyboard -
minimize window and set
it to what every you want.
2. Put a launcher "Change Gnome Now" to http://extensions.gnome.org/
in desktop, so people'll click it for solutions.
A small "Getting Started" with some information about the tweak tool
and the extensions
would be really nice.
Thanks to the gnome team for there excellent work!
