GNOME Classic surely offers classic taskbar but at the cost of screen height as it adds additional panel at the bottom.

While I myself think that GNOMEShell is one of the best desktops out there there are many basic things that make DE not optimal for serious work. Lets iterate:
good:
-Shell, window manager and settings, they are made very well
-No phonon.
bad:
-Lack of task bar, only available as 3rd party extension. Current window switching makes your head spin if you have open many terminals or editors. minigame "find the one you need".
-As NPAPI got deprecated by ~good~ browsers you have to hackthru to install extensions.
-Theming, Adwaita wastes too much space for my taste, and 3rd party themes are borken ~by design~.
-Customization: dconf-editor exposes all settings but is the same as navigating windows registry.
-Double menus: one in app and one on task bar. Awesome design.
-Application launcher icons are too big of r my taste. And no, there is no obvious way to change them.
-As much as people like calling KDE bloated, empty KDE session takes only 750mb (with 180mb being mysql), while empty GNOME uses 1.5GB (no mysql here).
As with any DE default apps is a core element of UX.
gedit
good:
-You can type words.
bad:
-Rest of basic functionality like identatrion and block-selection etc. are missing.
-Whats in there got stuffed in one big menu,
gnome-terminal
good:
-Its a terminal.
bad:
-No transparency or background picture. Its too hard to maintain I heard. As someone who works alot of time in terminal I need those features to reduce the strain on my eyes. As many others.
-Looks like "New tab" menu option was too hard to maintain too. But you still can open new tab by shortcut (which you have to know beforehand). Someone explan this design choice to me please.
nautilus
good:
-You can navigate through folders.
bad:
-No dual pane view. You can't even open tabs.
-No compact view. Icons view zoomed out still nothing like it, wastes too much space with many files.
-You just can't, simply can't open file with application that is not listed in its app list. You can search through app list, but you can't use you own "command %1" if the app you want is not listed there for reasons unknown (I wanted to open .pro file with QTCreator, quest was quite epic). Bad things will happen to you, they think.
-This one has most severe case of dual menus.
All in all best DE if you want to chat and surf webs.

Arch... you can see the holes. Like you can SEE that things were put together piece by piece, meanwhile with Fedora it seems more... integrated? You get the impression that its pieces fitting into a whole and that if there was a 'rough' spot that they tried to smooth over it. With Arch there's no smoothing.
