Re: GNOME 2 on Fedora 15

I disliked the decision to simplify things in GNOME 3, but on the
whole I find it more productive than GNOME 2. Things got better once
I found alacarte, gnome-shell-extensions-alternative-status-menu,
etc., to recover lost functionality. In my opinion, Fedora should be
aimed at "power users" not "newbies". That said, I like throwing
windows to the left and right to fill half the screen, cycling through
windows of a given app (Alt-`) as easily as cycling through apps
(Alt-Tab), and generally saving screen space. Once I got my "Custom
Shortcuts" in place, I have few complaints (other than the
freezing-emacs bug). In general, using the mouse is slow, so we need
to be able to define a shortcut for everything. - jos
