Anyone else think Gnome Shell's just a little bit underwhelming. I guess I'm not seeing the point here. (I'm using the most bleeding edge from the GIT repositories as well) It feels like a really stripped down Gnome to me almost like it's missing something critical that and it looks more suited to a netbook then a Desktop. I must say if this is the future of Gnome I hope they can pull a KDE by version 3.3.0 This is almost frightening bad, I suppose the first few iterations of KDE 4.x we're accutally quite terrible but atleast there was a clearer defined goal You could easily see exactly what the developers where aiming for and I think they've all but achieved that with KDE 442. But where the hell is Gnome going? So far my impressions of shell are a step-backwards because of the lack of innovation. Don't get me wrong I love Radical design changes and I was stoked for Gnome 3 but so far I'm just seeing regression on innovation and progression on over simplifying Gnome. I suppose I could be the last desktop user around but doesn't it just strike you as almost a "netbook" remix?
