For me it is multiple things: 1. More stable; The more people use a recent version of GNOME, more fixes will go into GNOME and long term GNOME is more stable Basically: if your GNOME version is old, developers spend less time on it, because they assume the issue is probably fixed. So, IMO, to ensure GNOME stays at a high quality, you have to provide a recent version... staying 1 version behind only works for short term (the "Release early, release often" mindset). 2. Then the 3.4 plans, like: action lists, focus-follows-mouse, better working Documents + Contacts. Noticed some plans for other applications like "Boxes" (1 app which connects to VMs + connect to other machines), gnome-shell extension webapp, etc. This is brief, as the developers are still writing down all their plans. Also, not everything that is planned turns out that way (e.g. I expected Zeitgeist in 3.2). -- Regards, Olav
