Hi, I was also disappointed with Gnome 3 on recent Fedora releases. I tried using Gnome classic mode but still there were issues. Most disturbing was with the JEdit editor. I also tried using MATE, but I still had issues with the JEdit editor. So after years of using Gnome on various Fedora releases, I switched several months ago to KDE, after years of using Gnome 3. The issues with JEdit are solved with KDE.
Note: 1) it seems to me that launching an application in KDE (from the application menu or from a desktop shortcut) is really slower than with Gnome. However I did not tried to delved into it - maybe there are some KDE plugins which can be disabled, or other tweaks. 2) The issues I had with JEdit might be due to that I am not using the latest release of JEdit (from my own/legacy reasons). I do not want to upgrade from my own reasons, which I can describe if anyone is interested to hear.
