The point behind Maps, well, do you have another Linux OpenStreetMap client to recommend?
Finally, Boxes is hands down the most usable GUI for Qemu.
I don't say that they are the best software ever coded in the galaxy, or the most useful ever, but I really find an interest in them, and I use them from time to time.

People take existing applications and beautify it to make it their own. Make it so it works consistently with their desktop environment, which is what I like!

People work on what they wish.
There is no GNOME CEO to tell people to work on wayland stuff.

I'm really looking forward to GNOME 3.12 once it's available for Arch Linux. I'm happy that I switched from Ubuntu to Arch about a month ago even though I still have a love for Unity (HUD being the one but I don't think it will support the GtkHeaderBar widget that does away with the titlebar -- it would be nice if Google Chrome could take advantage of them and still have borders and shadows behind them). I like the look of the new GEdit 3.12, GNOME Boxes (very cool), and GNOME Videos. I've never came across Broadway, which is suited for tablets but I only have Nexus 7 with Android 4.4 which I can't replace due to investment in Android ecosystem.
