If anything it is probably better for the masses since I think GNOME3 is probably the Linux desktop I have used that has required no tweaking at all to work or look good. This, as much else, is a matter of taste, of course.
Change for changes sake is a bad thing.

I meant to say that KDE is the default desktop of Mageia, which might be why it is gaining ground. I didn't mean to say that Mageia's support for GNOME is bad!

On top of that it's usually nothing but bashing, unsubstantiated. How many times have we seen "I need to click 5 times to launch an app!!!" (I don't know wtf you were clicking, dude) or "Heyyy, I hate that you have to swipe the lock screen up, forcing me to use my computer like a freaking tablet" (this one has his escape key teleported to a mine field) yada yada yada.

Gnome-Shell did a wonderful thing: exposing the ego of whining users.
Some of them are not interested to hear advice from from Gnome-Shell developers and users.
Their own posts only display their selfishness and complete lack of analysis and logics.
One things that cannot be tolerated: perpetrating FUDs and lies about Gnome-Shell to fit hidden agenda.

These are valid criticisms being vocalised about concerned gnome users. Your attitude on the other hand appalls me.
I am finding this increasingly militant and highly vocal minority of gnome users who support GS to be highly amusing.
No one is asking to get rid of gnomeshell, its great for tablet users!
Surely everyone would be happy if gnome3 much closer resembled gnome2 but with GS as an option at point of installation.
Or as a "Tablet mode" option in System > Preferences.

So in what way do you think it's suboptimal for workstation use? I gather it has some issues around multi-head setups (which I don't use), but in all other respects I find it ideal on a big-screen desktop. You keep harping on about full-screen design, but I'm sitting here, routinely running a couple of windows per workspace - in particular, I get good value out of the basic tiling support, putting a terminal alongside an editor. You talk about the mode change stuff, but that's only relevant when starting a new app, and in practice I barely notice it's existence - I'm using the keyboard for everything, so if the screen flickers a little as it auto-completes the program I'm running, I typically don't see it.
And this is what I don't understand with you calling it a mobile interface. I use both Shell and Android day to day, and they have *nothing* in common. Android *is* all the things you're talking about - full-screen applications, slow switching between them, touch oriented. Shell isn't.
