Do you actively use and _work_with_ applications which are now banned
and discriminated due to that new "design"? And is that nervous little
thing in the lower left corner really desgined or just quickly hacked up?


You know, we can't actually banned or discriminate against other apps?  I'm not sure what you mean in this context?   Logically, if we banned or discriminated against these apps; we wouldn't be using them. :)

I can't comment on the traybar in the corner.  I believe that was a stop gap measure for now.  But one of the designers can comment on that.

Do it right. Make every app which happens to use the APIs a first-class
citizen. Be a service and act in favour of such apps. Stop being a
dictator and punish third party apps, and in the end the users of such apps.

That is what the HIG is far if you are a GNOME based app.  Or are you referring to non-GNOME apps?  There are of course limits to which GNOME will support them, but when it makes sense I believe GNOME tries to do that.
 

One of the listed bugs mentions topicons. Does that really work out of
the box? It does not for me. Merge the idea of what it does into the
"GUI core" for the time being and publish it along with the core.

Works for me, I've never had a problem with topicons.  Although I have stopped using and using the notifications.  But I believe there can be a better story there, my personal opinion.
