I welcome this completely. The current Control Center is clunky to navigate since you can't go directly from one panel to another as you have to go back to the panel selector home each time. This is bad design picked up from Apple's OS X System Preferences application, which is perhaps not their best.

1) Allow us to change top panel font!
2) Better access to startup entries
3) Reduce icon sizeAll opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

The problem with Gnome3 is that you have to rely on external tools/mods/plug-ins to tweak it to your liking. Doesn't help that those tweaks might not work in the next version.
Gnome3 should be mature and have all the features by now.

I do use GNOME 3 everyday, I welcome this kind of changes/rewrite that improve the overall UX of the desktop.
iznogood: I have a VPN for my work and it's easier to set up than in Windows or Mac. And what about GNOME Builder for an IDE?
chrisb: The fact that you don't like GNOME doesn't make it objectively the worst in the world, it's merely your opinion. In the meantime, GNOME is one of the most used DE "in the world".
Meekteef makes a good point about Android on ChromeOS; it has the potential to kill the popularity of Linux desktops for normal users rather quickly, and I don't think the Linux world has really woken up to that threat yet.

But think about your answer to "What are the top 10 things we could do to make Linux/Gnome more successful?" Is "rewrite the Control Center" in your list? Maybe I'm wrong, perhaps it really is more important than I think, or maybe it's just low hanging fruit. I don't actually have a problem with someone doing the work if they want to.

I genuinely hate the new Windows 10 control panel, since they've hidden away so much stuff I want to change behind extra layers of settings. But the left-side navigation bar might not be such a bad idea, as long as you can actually find stuff there.
