...back to subject of article;
I think Gnome is way too late in bringing back some of Gnome2's features. Cinnamon has already done this and imho is better than Gnome-Shell to begin with. I think this is a situation of 'too little too late' for their user-base (or once-user-base that scattered between Xfce, Cinnamon, Unity, fallback/compiz, etc). Obviously, this really should have been done in the first place, with the gnome 3.0 release.
ihmo, Cinnamon has turned out to be much better and arguably the direction that Gnome should've taken. I find it to be a little more flexible, replicates enough of gnome2 and compiz-like features, i don't have to deal with GS' god-awful activities/overview, nor did i have to install a bunch of extensions to get the desktop that i wanted ~ which is great.
anyway, i think 'core' gnome technology is decent. I (personally) just don't like the upstream (gnome-)shell shipped with gnome. it's an eye-sore, a bit clumsy to use and generally just a little annoying and almost rigid in design to how the dev's think people should use their desktop. (which is fine, since i can use something else).
