Actually, I don't think that this fragmentation is going to do any good to GNOME. It would be better for the project if they got GNOME Shell working and working well, and then present a standardised, sane, stable desktop to compete with KDE.
There is a danger that soon the only thing different GNOME installations have in common is GTK.

Also Canonical dictates usability decisions. They already announced that Unity's Dock won't be movable because they want it to be "always close to the Ubuntu button". http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/u...t-be-moveable/

The FSF also requires copyright assignment, as does Novell, as do many other open-source companies. People who disagree are free to not contribute code.

The difference is that Canonical has hired usability experts to work on Unity, whereas Gnome Shell treats usability as something to be done in hackfests. Which is why Gnome Shell is such a nightmare to use.

Having said that, gnome-shell looks nice but I don't think it's ready yet. Like you said it really needs applets and more customization options, and there are also some graphic driver issues with gnome-shell.
