They just keep making it worse.

Now they're merging all menubars into one menubar.
File, Edit, View, Help, etc they all disappear and gets thrown into a new menu with the same name of the application.

Example is Cheese Cam Booth, its horrible.

gnome-shell sucks, Unity sucks.
gnome-session-fallback (Classic session with gnome-panel) is good, even though it has some rough corners.

And you'll probably still be able to pick the old behavior either through a configuration option, or through an extension. Extensions in Gnome Shell are very powerful.

Such a beacon of positivity. FWIW, I've been using GS on my work desktop for the last 10 months (dual 1080p monitors), and it has been very usable after I tweaked a couple settings and installed a few choice extensions.
