Hi, Sorry for top posting but please understand that the Shell is still in development, and while some of the points you make are fair, they are made with respect to a version which DOES NOT include the latest additions from Gnome Designers, which makes them invalid. It would be good if you could read Jimmac's blog [1] or to look at the gnome-shell's mockups at the gnome-shell-design git repo [2] so you don't wait time ditching about known (and I think already fixed in the mockups) issues.
Cheers, José PS: I have no relation at all with the gnome-shell team.
