>From looking at what Gnome 3 does, it's clear to me it's intended for a very small screen on a light hardware system that will have minimal apps; in short, is for a bloody cell phone or a tablet only and is not designed to work on or for a full blown desktop system with lots of apps. The fact it dumps all the apps into one widget makes that clear. The downgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 yesterday saw the apps widget get stuffed with 184 apps in it, and it took forever to find any app that didn't start with the letter A. As for opening WINE, I could percolate a new full pot of coffee while delving through the crap pile of apps the widget created.
Gnome 3 is the small touch screen version of Gnome and has NO PLACE in an OS designed for use on full blown computers. I've been recommending Ubuntu to lots of people for years, but Gnome 3 and Unity is NOT suitable for anyone with eye sight issues or the older people using older hardware or anyone using a lot of apps on their system; in short, they aren't for over 60% of the users. What needs to happen is for Gnome 3 to either fork into Gnome for computers with the Classic and menu driven capability and Gnome for Touch Screens with Widgets and Unity, or to have both available in Gnome 3 with an easy selection process like they have in Gnome 2. In my opinion, and OS that uses Gnome 3 as it currently is is NOT suitable for a desktop computer or a full laptop or notebook computer as it greatly reduces productivity due to the very bad user interface of Unity.
