I bet Fedora with modified Gnome3 launcher to work similar to Gnome2 one, would become an Ubuntu killer. At this moment, there's really no choice for Gnome users. Both, Unity and Gnome Shell make launching applications hard and uncomfortable. I used to like Unity, but it started to make me mad after some time. I feel much more comfortable with simple launchers like the one from Win95.
